Über dieses Buch

As a socially disruptive technology, Ambient Intelligence is ultimately directed towards humans and targeted at the mundane life made of an infinite richness of circumstances that cannot fully be considered and easily be anticipated. Most books, however, focus their analysis on, or deal largely with, the advancement of the technology and its potential only. This book offers a fresh, up–to–date, and holistic approach to Ambient Intelligence. As such, it addresses the interdisciplinary and
transdisciplinary aspects of the rapidly evolving field of Ambient Intelligence by seamlessly integrating and fusing it with artificial intelligence, cognitive science and psychology, social sciences, and
humanities. It is divided into two main parts: Part 1 is about different permutations of enabling technologies as well as core computational capabilities, namely context awareness, implicit and natural interaction, and intelligent behavior. It details the existing and upcoming prerequisite technologies, and elucidates the application and convergence of major current and future computing trends. Part 2 is an accessible review and synthesis of the latest research in the human-directed sciences and computing and how these are intricately interrelated in the realm of Ambient
Intelligence. It deals with the state–of–the–art human–inspired applications which show human-like understanding and exhibit intelligent behavior in relation to a variety of aspects of human functioning – states and processes. It describes and elaborates on the rich potential of Ambient Intelligence from a variety of interrelated perspectives and the plethora of challenges and bottlenecks involved in making Ambient Intelligence a reality, and also discusses the established knowledge and recent discoveries
in the human–directed sciences and their application and convergence in the ambit of Ambient Intelligence computing. This seminal reference work is the most comprehensive of its kind, and will prove invaluable to students, researchers, and professionals across both computing and the human-directed sciences.

Chapter 2. Ambient Intelligence: A New Computing Paradigm and a Vision of a Next Wave in ICT
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to give insights into the origin and context of the AmI vision; to shed light on the customary assumptions behind the dominant vision of AmI, underlying many of its envisioned scenarios, and provide an account on its current status; to outline and describe a generic typology for AmI; to provide an overview on technological factors behind AmI and the many, diverse research topics and areas associated with AmI; to introduce and describe human-directed sciences as well as artificial intelligence and their relationships and contributions to AmI; and to discuss key paradigmatic, non-paradigmatic, pre-paradigmatic, and post-paradigmatic dimensions of AmI. Moreover, this chapter intends to provide essential underpinning conceptual tools for exploring the subject of AmI further in the remaining chapters.

Chapter 5. Context Modeling, Representation, and Reasoning: An Ontological and Hybrid Approach
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to review and show the state-of-the-art in the area of ontological and hybrid context modeling, representation, and reasoning in AmI. In addition to focusing on works on context information representation and reasoning that fall into the ontological category, other relevant representation and reasoning techniques from the literature on context-aware computing are included for comparative purposes. Context is primarily considered from the view point of adaptation in HCI, and ontology is discussed in the applied context of software engineering.

Chapter 7. Towards AmI Systems Capable of Engaging in ‘Intelligent Dialog’ and ‘Mingling Socially with Humans’
Abstract
This chapter seeks to address computational intelligence in terms of conversational and dialog systems and computational processes and methods to support complex communicative tasks. In  so doing, it explores human verbal and nonverbal communication behavior and sheds light on the recent attempts undertaken to investigate different aspects of human communication with the aim to replicate and implement them into ECAs. In HCI, ECAs represent multimodal user interfaces where modalities are the natural modalities of human conversation, namely speech, facial expressions and gestures, hand gestures, and body postures.

Chapter 8. Affective Behavioral Features of AmI: Affective Context-Aware, Emotion-Aware, Context-Aware Affective, and Emotionally Intelligent Systems
Abstract
The intent of this chapter is to examine and discuss the different aspects and forms of the affective behavior of AmI systems, as well as to highlight the role of affective computing as a research area of AI in AmI in advancing the field of AmI with respect to emotionally human-inspired applications. Examples of HCI application scenarios revealing important emerging trends in this research area include: affective context-aware, emotion-aware, context-aware affective, and emotionally intelligent systems.

Chapter 9. The Cognitively Supporting Behavior of AmI Systems: Context Awareness, Explicit Natural (Touchless) Interaction, Affective Factors and Aesthetics, and Presence
Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to explore and discuss the different features of the cognitively supporting behavior of AmI systems, namely cognitive context awareness, explicit natural (touchless) interaction, affective quality of aesthetic computational artifacts and environments and their rich and intuitive interaction with users, and presence in its different conceptualizations. Most of these features are associated with subjective perceptions that are tacit and difficult to externalize and translate into a form intelligible to a computer system. Addressing this issue entails important mechanisms underlying social and affective interactive processes and computational tools that support such processes. In relation to presence, for example, the potential of computational and visual artifacts lie in using emotional responses and expressions to support both agent–human interaction as well as computer-mediated human–human interaction.
