Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial
Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting
people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s life more
comfortable.
Affect and social behaviour plays an important role in the development
of Ambient Intelligent Environments. Consideration of aspects like
emotions, mood, personality traits, and attitudes in human-computer,
human-robot, and human-environment interaction, especially insofar as
they provide better or more “natural” support for humans. These
environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing
requirements and forecasting behaviours.
AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting
rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities,
tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc.
In the Thematic track on AmIA Environments we will create a
multi-disciplinary discussion forum that will bring together researchers
from the different fields addressed discussing issues in Artificial
Intelligence topics included in the Ambient Intelligence and affective
environments. Researchers are welcome to present both theoretical and
practical works as well as the lessons learned with their application in
the varied range of domains. Emphasis will be placed on the presentation
of concrete systems, discussion of implementation and development
challenges and sharing of conclusions achieved and relevant results.
