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 Thematic 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.
