European Conference on Ambient Intelligence 2015 (AmI-15)
The European Conference on Ambient Intelligence is the prime venue for
research on Ambient Intelligence, with an international and
interdisciplinary character. It brings together researchers from the
fields of science, engineering, and, design working towards the vision
of Ambient Intelligence.
Ami-15
will provide a meeting point for each of these communities, aiming for
intensive networking and scientific debate, and shaping visions of the
future.
This year's event focuses on the following featured themes areas, each
attracting a growing community of Ambient Intelligence researchers:
AmI & Healthcare
This theme seeks for contributions exploring applications of Ambient
Intelligence to improve the quality of care, including but not limited
to, patient safety, patient and staff satisfaction, workflow and
efficiency, flexibility and adaptability, remote diagnostics, as well as
remote care and assistance.
AmI & Well-being
Well-being explores innovative Ambient Intelligence products, systems,
and services for many sectors of society, to enable people having a
better life by enjoying and feeling well. This includes good living
conditions, an improved social life and realizing their full potential:
overall satisfaction in life is stimulated with positive emotions - joy,
pride, and being content.
AmI & Social Robots
This theme explores robots interacting socially with humans and groups
of humans. It seeks contributions on social interaction between humans
and robots. This includes, but is not limited to, the analysis and
recognition of human social behaviour, models of social interaction
between humans and robots, investigation of social traits in machines,
the impact of social robots on humans and human society. We particularly
encourage contributions that focus on the perception of human behaviour
from external sensors such as fixed cameras, simple sensor networks or
wearable sensors, and on how humans experience these.
AmI & Evaluation
This theme explores issues of evaluation with Ambient Intelligence
systems and methods. This includes the development of novel evaluation
techniques, critical reviews of existing evaluation methods, and
reflection on lessons learned from case studies that focus on
evaluation.
AmI & City
The AmI & City theme aims to explore the development of ambient
intelligence technologies in the context of the urban environment, while
also taking into account the social, cultural and political
implications that the use of these technologies has on everyday life.
AmI & Other Applications
AmI & Other Applications provides an opportunity for contributions
on new and emerging applications in fields that fall outside of the
scope of the other conference themes (e.g., Agriculture, Arts &
Culture, Commerce & Marketing, Environmental management, Finance,
Leisure & Entertainment, Transport and logistics, Workplace etc.)
New & Emerging Topics
As the digital domain is becoming integrated with the physical domain,
technologies are coming out of research labs and used to develop new
products - like the Internet of Things and the disruption it is creating
in a broad range of industries. However, there are many other
technologies that are still being developed in the research labs that
promise to further disrupt our lives. To name a few: configurable
physical spaces, screen less displays, holographic displays,
programmable matter, etc. In the "New and Emerging Themes" an
opportunity is provided for contributions on such future & emerging
technologies reporting recent research findings.
