Conference Description:

Ubiquitous Computing (UC), as envisioned by Weiser in 1991, has recently evolved to a more general paradigm known as Ambient Intelligence (AmI) represents a new generation of user-centred computing environments and systems. These solutions aim to find new ways to obtain a better integration of information technology in everyday life devices and activities. AmI environments are integrated by several autonomous computational devices from modern life ranging from consumer electronics to mobile phones. Ideally, people in an AmI environment will not notice these devices, however, they will benefit from the services these solutions provide. Such devices are aware of the people present in such environments and can react to their gestures, actions, and context. Recently the interest in AmI environments has grown considerably due to the new challenges posed by society, demanding highly innovative services, such as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET), Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), e-Health, Internet of Things, Home Automation, amongst others. The focus of this edition of the UCAmI Conference will be "Technologies in the Creation of Sustainable Ambient Intelligence Solutions".
