Relatively new research ?elds such as ambient intelligence,
intelligent envir- ments, ubiquitous computing, and wearable
devices have emerged in recent years. These ?elds are related by a
common theme: making use of novel technologies to enhance user
experience by providing user-centric intelligent environments, -
moving computers from the desktop and making computing available
anywhere and anytime. It must be said that the concept of
intelligent environments is not new and beganwithhomeautomation.
Thechoiceofnameforthe?eldvariessomewhatfrom continent to continent
in the English-speaking world. In general intelligent space is
synonymous to intelligent environments or smart spaces of which
smart homes is a sub?eld. In this collection, the terms intelligent
environments and ambient int- ligence are used interchangeably
throughout. Such environments are made possible by permeating
living spaces with intelligent technology that enhances quality of
life. In particular, advances in technologies such as miniaturized
sensors, advances in communication and networking technology
including high-bandwidth wireless devices and the reduction in
power consumption have made possible the concept of intelligent
environments. Environments such as a home, an of?ce, a shopping
mall, and a travel port utilize data provided by users to adapt the
environment to meet the user's needs and improve human-machine
interactions. The user information is gathered either via wearable
devices or by pervasive sensors or a combination of both.
Intelligent environments brings together a number of research ?elds
from computer science, such as arti?cial intelligence, computer
vision, machine learning, and robotics as well as engineering and
architecture.
