CALL FOR PAPERS
INFORMATION SCIENCES Special Issue:AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is an innovative paradigm of invisible adaptive network technologies that integrates concepts ranging from ubiquitous computing to autonomous and intelligent systems. AmI supports the vision that technology will become invisible, embedded in our natural surroundings, present whenever we need it, attuned to all our senses, adaptive to users and context and autonomously acting. High quality information and content must be available to any user, anywhere, at any time, and on any device.
In an ambient intelligent environment ,people are surrounded with networks of embedded intelligent devices that deliver ubiquitous information, communication, services, and entertainment. Furthermore, the devices adapt themselves to users, and even anticipate their needs. Ambient intelligent environments present themselves quite differently compared to contemporary handheld or stationary electronic boxes and devices. Electronics will be integrated into clothing, furniture, cars, houses, offices, and public places, introducing the problem of developing new user interface concepts that allow natural interaction with these environments. A promising approach is the one in which users interact with their digital environments in the same way as they interact with each other.
In the context of this theme,original contributions are solicited in all relevant areas, including but not limited to
· Mobile and Wireless Networking in Ambient Intelligence Environment
· Robotics platforms for AmI
· Information fusion
· Real-time Knowledge Management for AmI
· Speech Recognition
· Sensor Networking
· Machine Vision algorithms for scene interpretation and HCI
· Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms
· Design and deployment of innovative infrastructures
· Mobile Learning in AmI environment
· Peer-to-Peer and Grid-Based Services for Mobile Users
· Networking in Miniature Wearable Computers and Embedded Systems Software
· Arts and Entertainment in AmI environment
