*extended DEADLINE: CFP Special Issue on Technology for an Aging Society *

Inteligencia Artificial (http://journal.iberamia.org/) is an open access 
journal promoted and sponsored by the Latin American Society Artificial 
Intelligence (IBERAMIA-- http://www.iberamia.org). Due to the increasing 
interest in the development of methods and tools for increasing the 
health and the quality of life of the elderly, we are preparing a 
Special Issue on Technology for an Aging Society.

The proportion of older people is increasing rapidly all over the world. 
This trend has major social and economic implications. In order to 
reduce costs of formal health care and to increase the quality of life 
of the elder,  technology needs to address various aging related 
physical and cognitive health problems such as deterioration of physical 
function, lack of medication adherence, cognitive decline and loneliness.

Artificial Intelligence Technologies have an increasingly important role 
for promoting healthy active ageing. These technologies have been 
successfully used during the last years to develop new health and 
e-health applications, to promote safe independent living, to decrease 
the isolation of older people, to provide specialized education 
environments for the elderly and so on.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to collect contributions, surveys, 
ideas, applications, case studies and relevant research advances on the 
topic of the impact of intelligent technologies in the aging society. 
Ideas and contributions from PhD students are also welcome.

Special focus is on multi-disciplinary approaches on the following, 
non-exhaustive, list of topics:

· AI for Health
     o Rehabilitation systems (including games)
     o Persuasive technology for health aging
     o Smart houses
     o Detection and prevention of psychological illness
     o Medication adherence

· AI in Education
     o Personalized e-learning
     o Accessibility guidelines
     o Digital literacy
     o Serious games

· AI for the Social Inclusion
     o Socialization and emotional wellbeing in aging population
     o Intergenerational relationships
     o Active ageing
     o Accessibility guidelines
