I tried to add a link to a blog dedicated exclusively to AMI hosted at wordpress. The rules say unless the source is good, blogs are not allowed. That blog is written by a research group on the University of Malaga (Spain). How can we validate ourselves as researchers on this field?

[edit] Ambient intelligence today

How are intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in everyday objects around us at the moment? Annukka & Jenna 15:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Computers are already being embedded in many devices, computing is spread throughout the environment, users are mobile, information appliances are becoming increasingly available and communication is made easier-between individuals, between individuals and things, and between things.

[edit] Ambient intelligence in the future

What is the view for the future, how will ambient intelligence be manifested 10 years from now? We're especially interested in tackling the question of how our environment will recognise and respond to the presence of individuals in an invisible way in the future? Annukka & Jenna 15:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

There is a vision of the future where we will be surrounded by intelligent electronic environments, being sensitive and responsive to our needs and present whenever we need it. By instrumenting public and private spaces to understand their users activities and requirements, embedded intelligent systems can react for example by guiding an elderly person or entertaining children.

Who's we? And how can I drop you a mail? (Don't post your email here, a web page with contact details would be great)

[edit] Ambient intelligence at home

The Journal of Digital Information (article No. 271, http://jodi.tamu.edu/Articles/v05/i04/Raisinghani/#amidigital (2004) Ambient Intelligence: Changing Forms of Human-Computer Interaction and their Social Implications) suggests that the driving forces for applying AmI for home use are:

  • Convenience
  • Cost savings
  • Time savings
  • Security
  • Safety
  • Entertainment

How will our everyday life at home be helped out and made more efficient? Annukka & Jenna 09:55, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

My house, or more precisely my boiler, asks my diary what time I'll be coming home. My diary replies stating I'll be working late. So the boiler delays turning on by 1 hour. This safes me money and helps conserve energy (saves the environment).

[edit] Ambient intelligence in public space

How might ambient intelligence be manifested in public space and what is happening at the moment? Annukka & Jenna 09:55, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Public spaces are places for communication between people and things. A "mobile" is not limited to the function of making telephone calls, but has come to be used for communication between person and person, between person and thing, between thing and thing.

Examples of ideas

° Discussion: Hideyuki Tokuda 􀊷 Kengo Kuma 􀊷 Jun Aoki 􀊷 Ryue Nishizawa NTT DoCoMo, Inc. Mobile Society Research Institute International Architectural Design Competition 2006, Public Space for Ambient Intelligence, What does “ubiquitous” mean? - Public space altered by new types of communication.)

"One direction of ubiquitous computing is the visualization of unseen things. Even if this is substituted for an existing architectural space, "comprehensibility" might be a keyword. Up until now, visibility was the major issue in the comprehensibility of the city. In other words, to avoid becoming lost, it was important to see the streets clearly, without obstructions. The city then becomes geometrical. However, if we are in a state where we can use ubiquitous technology to monitor where we are and where we want to go, visual comprehensibility becomes unimportant."

"What we are using in our experiments is a sensor named uPart, which was developed at Karlsrühe University in Germany. At MIT, a sensor named MITes (MIT environmental sensor) is being developed. By installing these in every place in a house, in cupboards and lids, a history of the inhabitants’ activities is extracted, and personal activity recognition data is collected."

[edit] AmI research in Europe

ERCIM News No.47, October 2001 [1], Jari Ahola wrote: 'Defined by the EC Information Scociety Technologies Advisory Group in a vision of the Information Society, Ambient Intelligence emphasises on greater user-friendliness, more efficient services support, user-empowerment, and support for human interactions. In this vision, people will be surrounded by intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in everyday objects around us and an environment recognising and responding to the presence of individuals in an invisible way by year 2010.'

Within the ERCIM members there is a number of articles on the infrastructure for AmI environments. ERCIM [2] A report by ISTAG (ISTAG. Scenarios for Ambient Intelligence in 2010. Final Report, Feb 2001, EC 2001. Available at: [3])
