Thematic Track on Ambient Intelligence and Affective Environments (AmIA
Environments 2013)
16th Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence - EPIA 2013
9th-13th September, 2013 ::  Azores, Portugal

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial
Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting
people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone's life more
comfortable.
Affect and social behaviour plays an important role in the development
of Ambient Intelligent Environments. Consideration of aspects like
emotions, mood, personality traits, and attitudes in human-computer,
human-robot, and human-environment interaction, especially insofar as
they provide better or more "natural" support for humans. These
environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing
requirements and forecasting behaviours.
AmI environments may be highly diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting
rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transport facilities,
tourist attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc.
In the track on AmIA Environments  we will create a multi-disciplinary
discussion forum that will bring together researchers from the different
fields addressed discussing issues in Artificial Intelligence topics
included in the Ambient Intelligence and Affective environments.
Researchers are welcome to present both theoretical and practical works
as well as the lessons learned with their application in the varied
range of domains. Emphasis will be placed on the presentation of
concrete systems, discussion of implementation and development
challenges and sharing of conclusions achieved and relevant results.
