*****************************************************************************
Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Ambient Intelligence 
(AITAmI’15)
10th Anniversary Edition

http://aitami2015.mondragon.edu/

Buenos Aires, Argentina - July 25-27 2015
*****************************************************************************

Background and Goals:
Imagine a future where human environments respond to human preferences 
and needs. In this world, devices equipped with simple intelligence and 
the abilities to sense, communicate, and act will be unremarkable 
features of our world. We will expect the car to warn us of hazards, 
track our location and provide timely route advice. We will speak to 
simple machines and hold conversations with more complex systems, such 
as intelligent homes that will help us monitor conditions, track routine 
tasks, and program the behaviour of the heater, lights, garden watering 
and the entertainment centre. Analogous systems at work will make simple 
decisions in our stead ranging from scheduling meetings to negotiating 
for common services over the web. Such systems will also acquire, and 
adapt to our preferences over time. In sum, we will come to view simple 
software intelligence as an ambient feature of our environment.

This workshop will provide the opportunity to understand latest 
developments and take action to shape the future of the area by 
gathering researchers in a variety of AI subfields together with 
representatives of commercial interests to explore the technology and 
applications for ambient intelligence.

This event will build up on the topics discussed during the previous 
successful editions: AITAmI’06 held during ECAI’06 AITAmI’07 held during 
IJCAI’07, AITAmI’08 held during ECAI’08, AITAmI’09 held during IE’09, 
AITAmI’10 held during IE’10, AITAmI’11 held during IE’11, AITAmI’12 held 
during IE’12, AITAmI’13 held during IE’13, and AITAmI’14 held during IE’14.

Areas of interest: include, but are not limited to, the following:
context awarenes
activity recognition
individual/group emotional status
individual/group preferences
mediating conflicting interests
non invasive sensing and interaction
cognitive modelling of users
modelling complex environments (smart homes, smart cars, hospitals, 
museums, transportation, classrooms, open spaces, etc.)
intelligent interactive systems
multi-modal interfaces  (voice, image and video, bio-signals, 
handwriting, etc.)

as well as…
agent-based approaches to AmI
applications (health, industry, teaching, supporting group 
collaboration, etc.)
responsive/active architecture
innovative applications of AI to Ambient Intelligence
traditional relevant areas of AI (KR, reasoning about actions, 
spatio-temporal reasoning,  CBR, planning, uncertainty, learning, belief 
revision, vision, decision-making, etc.)
