Ambient
Intelligence refers to an exciting new paradigm in information
technology, in which people are empowered through a digital environment
that is aware of their presence and context, and is sensitive,
adaptive, and responsive to their needs, habits, gestures and
emotions.
It can be defined as the merger of two important visions and trends:
"ubiquitous computing" and "social user
interfaces". It builds on advanced networking technologies, which
allow robust, ad-hoc networks to be formed by a broad range of
mobile devices and other objects (ubiquitous- or pervasive computing). By
adding adaptive user-system interaction methods, based on new insights in
the way people like to interact with computing devices (social user
interfaces), digital environments can be created which improve the
quality of life of people by acting on their behalf. These context aware
systems combine ubiquitous information, communication, and entertainment
with enhanced personalization, natural interaction and intelligence.
