Innovations and practical applications of intelligent systems in ambient intelligence and humanized computing

Abstract

systems and frameworks implementations (CampilloSanchez et al. 2015), or ambient-assisted living tools (Rashidi and Mihailidis 2013) amongst others. These, and other related areas, will provide new challenges to AmI and Intelligent Systems in the near future.This special issue on Innovations and Practical applications of Intelligent Systems in Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing is devoted to create a multi-disciplinary discussion forum that bring together researchers from the different fields addressed discussing issues in Intelligent Systems topics involved in the Ambient Intelligence environments. A special emphasis is done to the presentation of concrete systems, discussion of implementation and development challenges and sharing of conclusions achieved and relevant results. From previous state of the art, some contributions have been selected in order to take a step forward over different problems and challenges related to AmI.

Special issue on “Recent advances in ambient intelligence towards a smart and human-centered internet of things”

“…Ambient intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm shift in which physical ecosystems and environments become perceptive and responsive to users' presence, behaviour and activities through technology-enriched capabilities (Camacho and Novais 2017). An important characteristic of the paradigm is to instrument these ambient capabilities to assist users in performing their everyday activities, while at the same time being pervasive, non-invasive and avoiding that their introduction enables threats to safety, security and privacy.…”
