“…For example, currently there are alarm buttons in the home or around a person's neck or wrist to send alert in the event of emergency, fire, unconsciousness, or a fall. But the problem is that there may not be enough time for the user to trigger the alarm [Abascal et al 2008]. To alleviate this problem there is a move towards alarms that can activate themselves, for example based on vital functions such as pulse rates and blood pressure.…”

In this article we survey ambient intelligence (AmI), including its applications, some of the technologies it uses, and its social and ethical implications. The applications include AmI at home, care of the elderly, healthcare, commerce, and business, recommender systems, museums and tourist scenarios, and group decision making. Among technologies, we focus on ambient data management and artificial intelligence; for example planning, learning, event-condition-action rules, temporal reasoning, and agent-oriented technologies. The survey is not intended to be exhaustive, but to convey a broad range of applications, technologies, and technical, social, and ethical challenges.

“…The AmI has been understood as a set of entities with different arrangements such as Service-Oriented Architecture [15], structured context information AmbiNet [16], Agent-based architecture ( [17] [18]) managing different technologies e.g. Wi-Fi, FRID, ZigBe or a coordinated structure of "domotic" components [19] and an architecture for an activity recognition using Visual Sensor Network [20].…”

The current paper introduces an approach to a development of Ambient Intelligence domainbased software systems from scratch. The presented approach is based on models. The paper also presents the domain-related models expressing different levels of abstractions and stages of the development. The approach refers to a Model-Driven Development of Ambient Intelligence which was suggested at AmI-07-Ambient Intelligence conference. The approach is presented as a standard with its feasible realization. It starts from modeling of a content of the future AmI-dedicated software system and concludes by mapping the graphical concepts into a final code. A process proving feasibility and correctness of the approach is provided through a dedicated research methodology. Its process comprises an identification of needs in a speedy development of the systems. It is followed by studying of the currently available techniques capable of supporting the development and an experimenting with them. It continues by finding a solution, verified by its validation and concludes by an identification of the further perspectives. The developed approach presents a common way of a communication amongst stakeholders participating in creating of AmI-based environments. Such communication involves the notations of AmI-Creator-a DomainSpecific Language of Ambient Intelligence domain. Every part of DSL corresponds to a demonstration of A-methodology expressing a step-by-step guidance for the development. The methodology comprises two parts dedicated to providing semantics for DSL through studying of Ambient Intelligence domain ontology; and development of actual environments. A validity of the working proposition is confirmed by three examples. The further challenges refer to an extension of the presented work by other frameworks and expansion to a development of different domains with complex organizations.

“…[20]. The inclusion of AmI in the home aims at improving the quality of life of residents, for example increasing the autonomy of elderly or impaired people in performing ADLs [30]. AmI should follow high-level design requirements such as being unobtrusive, personalized, adaptive and anticipatory.…”
