Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting people with their day-to-day activities, increasing human experiences.
Affect and social behavior play an important role in the development of Ambient Intelligent Environments. Consideration of aspects like emotions, mood, personality traits, and attitudes in human-computer, human-robot, and human-environment interaction, especially insofar, as they provide better or more “natural” support for humans. These environments should be aware of the people needs, customizing requirements and forecasting behaviors.
AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities, tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, or music devices, among others.
In the thematic track on AmIA Environments we intend to bring together researchers from the different addressed fields, discussing issues under the Artificial Intelligence topics included in the context of Ambient Intelligence and Affective Environments. Researchers are welcome to present both theoretical and practical works as well as the lessons learned with their application in the varied range of domains. Emphasis will be placed on the presentation of concrete systems, discussion of implementation and development challenges, and sharing of relevant results and conclusions.
