Ambient Intelligence (AmI) aims to make our everyday living and working a better, a smarter and a more pleasant environment that pro-actively but non-intrusively supports us in our daily lives. It integrates technologies and algorithmic aspects from many domains: artificial intelligence, distributed and mobile computing, human-computer interfaces, sensor networks, collaborative and pervasive computing, robotics, context aware computing, and others. Considering AmI features and multi-disciplinary nature, intelligent agent technology is a very promising and suitable approach to support the development of AmI new systems and applications.

The Agent Technologies for Ambient Intelligence (AgTAmI) Workshop will bring together scientists and practitioners interested in discussing and exchanging views on how to make better use of agents and multi-agent systems in novel approaches and applications of AmI, how to better exploit a technology that has now arrived to its maturity, in order to create intelligence embedded in the environment and to adapt the environment to user’s interests and expectations.
A debate on directions and future directions of research in the area will be organized by the end of the Workshop, giving the participants the possibility to share ideas and make new contacts.
AgTAmI 2015 will be held in conjunction with the 20th International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science (CSCS 20) in Bucharest, Romania, 27-29 May 2015, http://cscs20.acs.pub.ro/

The 20th edition of CSCS conference is technically supported by IEEE. The proceeding of CSCS20 will be published by IEEE CPS and will be indexed by IEEE Xplore. The conference proceedings will be submitted to Thomson Reuters WOS (ISI Proceedings) for indexing.
The proceedings of the last edition of CSCS conference (CSCS19-2013), including the papers accepted for publications for AgTAmi 2013, were indexed by Thomson Reuters WOS (ISI Proceedings) and by IEEE Xplore.
