“…Wright et al [57] present several critical scenarios for AAL applications ranging from the case of denial of service causing severe injuries or the death of the monitored patient, to the case of burglars able to obtain details on the lifestyle of an elder living alone. Security threats may also come from the ability of Intelligent Environments to collect large amounts of data about each individual [28].…”

As envisioned by Weiser, computing is in the process of being everywhere and becoming invisible. As Milner noticed, the question now is whether we shall understand this ubiquitous computer we are building. This is especially true as designers are more and more using complex techniques for every component of the system and building systems which are made of increasingly heterogenous parts. With this extended editorial, we embark on an exploration journey into the exciting new area of "reliable intelligent environments" (RIEs). Taking the perspective of an RIE engineer, we present a selection of approaches that have been put forward to design, verify, and operate IEs in a manner so that users can rely on Intelligent Environment systems. We outline crucial challenges: the situatedness which exposes IE to challenges similar to those known from robotics and control systems, the embedding of human users and the safety, privacy, and usability requirements thus entailed, and the amounts of data produced by sensors and actuators, which require advanced reasoning and learning mechanisms to handle them in a reliable way in real-time. We also sketch the opportunities reliable IEs provide to developing new markets and products.

“…Ambient Intelligence (AmI) stems from the convergence of ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous communication and intelligent user-friendly interfaces and creates environments that are characterized by their ubiquity, transparency and intelligence [6]. AmI is of great interest to society because in a near future it can help us to do our work, improve our health, do house chores, etc.…”

Abstract-This paper introduces the development of an infrastructure to study highly complex systems of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) which involve a large number of users. The key ideas about the development of a multi-agent based simulation (MABS) for such purposes, Ubik, are given. The paper also extrapolates effective technologies in the development of multi-agent systems (MAS) to the field of MABS. In particular, the basis for the use of forensic analysis as a method to assist the analysis, understanding and debugging of Ubik in particular and the general MABS are set up.

“…The most common scenario, several times depicted in literature, is the intelligent home/office where sensors control ambience variables such as lighting and temperature based on sensors distributed around the building. Integration of communication devices is also referenced [10], and involves the possibility to make use of the house/office to communicate presence and/or location.…”

This paper addresses future scenarios for the telecommunications field, addressing the impact of three important research trends in computer networks: Context, Sensors and Wireless Networks. The proposed scenarios clearly highlight the possible synergies between the defined areas, and describe the role of Users and Network Operators in order to achieve the described goals. The potential danger of an over-encompassing network is identified, with a brief discussion on the challenges associated to the implementation of such a knowledgeaware communications network. The paper finalizes presenting a classification on the typical scenarios to be expected, and highlighting the associated challenges. It also presents a proposal on a scalable network infrastructure for Context processing.
