Workshop on Ambient Intelligence and life
=========================================
http://www.ehu.es/ami-life/
July 21-22, 2005, San Sebastián, Spain
Co-Chairs: Julio Abascal and Yang Cai
Objectives:
After the SIGCHI Workshop "Ambient Intelligence for Scientific Discovery,"
held on April 25, 2004 in Vienna (Springer, LNAI 3345), we found that
there are significant interests in Ambient Intelligence applications for
our daily life. This inspired us to develop this Workshop with a
particular theme "Ambient Intelligence and life", to be held in San
Sebastian, Spain, in July 21-22, 2005.
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a ubiquitous process of perception and
communication. It is about computers and humans interact with information
in a way that permits a human-computer system to spot interesting signs in
massive data sources. With growing data streams and the complexity of
discovery tasks, we see a demand for integrating novel digital media and
communications (e.g. bodymedia, capsule cameras, WiFi, etc.) and
opportunities for ambient intelligence to use interaction methods that are
usually taken for granted such as perception, insight and analogy. We want
to search for solutions to interesting questions such as: How do we
significantly reduce information while maintaining meaning? How do we
extract patterns from massive and growing data resources?
The 2-day Workshop is expected to gather researchers and developers in
this field and to convolute ideas in an open environment. The submitted
paper for the Workshop proceedings should contain new theories, new
architecture, or new findings in Ambient Intelligence. It would be
desirable to reflect the state-of-the-art applications in our daily life.
The paper length should be no more than 10 pages. Shorter papers are
welcome but it is necessary to include enough novel concepts or new
results. The author's guidance is at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. We also plan to publish
selected enhanced papers via various venues, such as International Journal
of Human-Computer Studies, Journal of Information Visualization, Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI).
The workshop will be preceded by 3 days tutorial course on Intelligence
issues in Ambient Intelligence, July 18 -20, 2005 organized in combination
with the International Summer Courses of the University of the Basque
Country.
The topics of this Workshop include but are not limited:
" Theories of Ambient Intelligence
" Spatiotemporal data mining

" Assisted-living systems
" Continuous body monitoring
" Privacy and Security issues
" Intelligent navigation systems
