ambient intelligent technologies for wellbeing at home
The quality of life of any person, young or old, heavily depends on the efficiency, comfort and cosiness of the place he or she calls  home . Ambient Intelligence (AmI) has profiled itself as a methodology that aims to provide this kind of easy living while keeping the actual technology in the background. This workshop intends to bring together experts to study and discuss on visions, technologies and applications that have been developed particularly to facilitate living at home. It welcomes contributions related to four main themes: 1) Home environment control and automation, 2) Personalised entertainment applications for the home as a multi-user environment, 3) Applications to support elderly people in their homes and 4) Health care and personal security at home. The workshop will consist of participant presentations, discussions and demonstrations and aim to identify key research topics in the field of AmI that support wellbeing at home.
