Thematic Issue: A Software Engineering Perspective on Smart Applications

for AmI

Background

This thematic issue addresses software engineering perspectives on

the design, use and evaluation of Smart Applications for Ambient

Intelligence and solicits contributions on recent developments and

experiments with such applications in simulated smart environments as

well as successful deployments in the real world. Currently, we

witness various futuristic application domains that promise smart

interaction between humans and computers, with smart objects enabling

the internet of things, intelligent transportation systems, and smart

grids being some of the more notorious examples receiving a lot of

attention nowadays. However, do the advanced computing capabilities

of a mobile phone justify calling it a smart-phone? How can software

engineering complement artificial intelligence to create smart

applications for Ambient Intelligence? What kind of intelligent

behavior do users expect from smart software architectures? What are

good programming paradigms to implement such systems? The particular

focus of this thematic issue is on software engineering best

practices and methodologies to develop intelligent applications, case

studies on software requirements and testing of smart behavior, and

success stories from various application domains.

As this topic covers many different software engineering disciplines

we encourage submissions that cover the broad range of research

topics that include practical applications and case studies, user

studies, middleware, programming languages, application design

methodologies, empirical evaluation of systems and metrics,

underpinning theories and formal methods, and more

technical/scientific research topics. Some specific relevant

application areas to be considered, but not exclusively are:

* Smart home automation

* Intelligent web applications

* Mobile applications for smartphones

* Intelligent interfaces

* Smart mobs

* Intelligent machines and systems

* Smart grid

* Intelligent personalization and recommender systems

* Ambient assisted living

* Intelligent transportation systems

* Smart healthcare

* Intelligent multi-agent systems

* Smart surveillance and tracking

* Intelligent sensor networks

* Swarm intelligence

* Intelligent behavior and context-aware applications

* Smart energy systems

* Mobile and wearable intelligence

Submissions that use experimental data derived from real or simulated

test-beds of smart applications and intelligent environments are

especially encouraged.

We are pleased to inform you that JAISE is indexed by Scopus, ACM

Digital Library and DBLP. From January 2012, all JAISE issues will be

indexed in JCR.
