[agents] First Issue of the Journal on Ambient intelligence and Smart Environments

[Juan Carlos Augusto]

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce the Inaugural Issue of JAISE, the pioneering 
Journal on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Smart Environments (SmE).

This new journal is an open forum to discuss the latest developments on AmI 
and SmE.  Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the areas involved, the 
journal aims to promote participation from several different communities 
covering topics ranging from enabling technologies such as vision and 
multimodal sensing, to algorithmic aspects in interpretive and reasoning 
domains, to application-oriented efforts in human-centred services, as well 
as contributions from the fields of robotics, networking, HCI, mobile, 
collaborative and pervasive computing.

The Inaugural Issue has been compiled to provide surveys on the state of the 
art for various key topics in the area. The articles in this issue have been 
contributed by leading researchers who have helped to shape the field since 
its inception. These contributions critically analyze developments in 
different areas and highlight the challenges ahead.

You can see the content of the first issue on: 
http://iospress.metapress.com/content/121240/

The scheduled content for the first volume will be completed as follows:
  Issue 2 (April 2009) Thematic Issue: Wearable Sensors
  Issue 3 (July 2009) Thematic issue: Contribution of Artificial 
Intelligence to AmI
  Issue 4 (October 2009): Regular Issue

Kind regards
Hamid Aghajan and Juan C. Augusto
