Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) demands the seamless integration of a range of technologies such that the particular
needs of the elderly may be met. Given the heterogeneity of the elderly population, in their needs and ...
Though the motivation for developing ambient assisted living (AAL) systems is incontestable, significant challenges exist in realizing the ambience that is essential to the success of such systems. By definition, an AAL ...
This chapter reflects upon the challenges that confront the deployment of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) applications. Ambient Intelligence demands that everyday artefacts be imbued with intelligent reasoning capabilities ...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is of particular relevance to those who may suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, and, of course, their carers. The slow but progressive nature of the disease, together with its ...
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a profound vision of computing power that is invisibly embedded into the fabric of everyday life. It is accessible through intelligent interfaces which are so natural that they can be used ...
It is becoming difficult to convey information from an everincreasing
number of digital sources to users in a condensed and meaningful
way. This growth has particularly occurred with peripheral information
sources. These ...
Intelligent User Interfaces represent one of the three distinguishing characteristics of AmI environments. Such interfaces are envisaged as mediating between the services available in an arbitrary physical environment and ...
Intelligent agents offer a viable paradigm for enabling
AmI applications and services. As WSN technologies
are anticipated to provide an indispensable component in
many application domains, the need for enabling the ...
Service provision for mobile users poses several challenges for those managing enterprise information systems. Some of these are ubiquitous, for example, privacy and security. Others give rise to integration and interoperability ...
Ongoing developments in an array of mobile computing technologies have rendered the deployment of intelligent agents feasible on lightweight computational devices such as mobile phones. This development extends the Multi-Agent ...
