Special Session: Ambient Intelligence and Assisted Living

(at IFSA-EUSFLAT 2015, Gijon, Spain, http://www.softcomputing.es/ifsa-eusflat2015/)

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is an emerging discipline that utilises the advances in sensors and sensor networks, Pervasive Computing and Artificial Intelligence, to create intelligent environments that improve the quality of life of their inhabitants. These environments are capable of monitoring user activities, supporting and proactively adapting themselves to user needs, helping with their daily routines, etc., in an unobtrusive and invisible way. AmI systems rely on computational devices (sensors, actuators, mobile devices, etc.), which supports the context awareness required for the personalized services.
Since Ambient Intelligence applications are developed for the real-world, the efficient processing of the uncertainty inherently related to AmI environments is crucial. In that way, fuzzy techniques emerge as a main requirement in any Ambient Intelligence application. Fuzzy techniques could help to manage information from different sources and provide higher-processing information, reducing the redundant and anomalous information, avoiding errors in the inferred knowledge and facilitating user assistance.

Topics:
- Ambient Intelligence Services or Applications
- Healthcare information processing
- Ambient Assisted Living Applications
- Fuzzy based-systems for Ambient Intelligent
- Prediction of User behaviour
- Time series processing
- Situational/Context Awareness services
- Interaction with the smart home (wearable, gesture recognition, affective computing)
- Activity of daily living (ADL) monitoring and recognition
- E-health services and applications
