AMI 2012 - International Joint Conference on Ambient Intelligence

The AmI-12 conference brings together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia working in the field of technologies and applications of Ambient Intelligence. Ambient Intelligence represents a vision of the future where we shall be surrounded by invisible technological means, sensitive and responsive to people and their behaviors, deliver advanced functions, services and experiences. Ambient intelligence combines concepts of ubiquitous technology, intelligent systems and advanced user interfaces putting the humans in the center of technological developments.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished work in all areas related to Ambient Intelligence. Contributions are solicited from, but not limited to the following topics:
Objects, devices and environments that embody ambient intelligence
Context models and context factors
Sensing and reasoning technology
Natural and multimodal interaction styles and user interfaces
Advanced interface artifacts
Service Front-Ends for Ambient Intelligence
End User Development for Ubiquitous Environments
Adaptation in Ambient Intelligence
