Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems need the integration of innovative technology and
complex environment for better solutions. In this sense, agents and multi-agent systems …

There is currently a lot of work in Ambient Intelligence—or AmI—reporting on specific
scenarios, or on implementations of particular cases. In the same time, there is a common …

Monitoring the changes in data values obtained from the environment (eg, locations of
moving objects) is a primary concern in many fields, as for example in the pervasive …

A system is context-aware if it can extract, interpret and use context information and adapt its
functionality to the current context of use. Multi-agent planning generalizes the problem of …

This paper deals with a context awareness system based on a service-oriented architecture
dedicated to the Smart Home. In our approach, a Smart Home must be able to provide …

Ambient Intelligence promises to transform current spaces into electronic environments that
are responsive, assistive and sensitive to human presence. Those electronic environments …

This paper describes the fundamentals of a research project which is being launched in the
emerging field of Ambient Intelligence as defined by the European Union's 6th Research …

Ambient systems are characterized by their dynamics and their huge complexity. An
important issue in this field is their capability to provide a relevant behaviour in order to …

Although drivers obtain road information through radio broadcasting or specific in-car
equipment, there is still a wide gap between the synchronization of information and the …

Affective computing has emerged with the aim to enable affective humancomputer
interaction by designing machines and interfaces that will sense, recognize, understand and …
