Handbook of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments
Handbook of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments
Our homes anticipate when we want to wake up.
Our computers predict what music we want to buy. Our cars adapt to the
way we drive. In today’s world, even washing machines, rice cookers and
toys have the capability of autonomous decision-making. As we grow
accustomed to computing power embedded in our surroundings, it becomes
clear that these ‘smart environments’, with a number of devices
controlled by a coordinating system capable of ‘ambient intelligence’,
will play an ever larger role in our lives. This handbook provides
readers with comprehensive, up-to-date coverage in what is a key
technological field. . Systematically dealing with each aspect of
ambient intelligence and smart environments, the text covers everything,
from visual information capture and human/computer interaction to
multi-agent systems, network use of sensor data, and building more
rationality into artificial systems. The book also details a wide range
of applications, examines case studies of recent major projects from
around the world, and analyzes both the likely impact of the technology
on our lives, and its ethical implications.
With a wide variety of separate disciplines all conducting research relevant to this field, this handbook encourages collaboration between disparate researchers by setting out the fundamental concepts from each area that are relevant to ambient intelligence and smart environments, providing a fertile soil in which ground-breaking new work candevelop.
