Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a recent 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.

Another main concern of AmI originates from the human computer interaction

domain and focuses on offering ways to interact with systems in a more

natural way by means user friendly interfaces. This field is evolving quickly

as can be witnessed by the emerging natural language and gesture based types

of interaction.

The inclusion of computational power and communication technologies in

everyday objects is growing and their embedding into our environments should

be as invisible as possible. In order for AmI to be successful, human

interaction with computing power and embedded systems in the surroundings

should be smooth and happen without people actually noticing it. The only

awareness people should have arises from AmI: more safety, comfort and

wellbeing, emerging in a natural and inherent way.

ISAmI is the International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence, aiming

to bring together researchers from various disciplines that

constitute the scientific field of Ambient Intelligence to present

and discuss the latest results, new ideas, projects and lessons learned.

Brand new ideas will be greatly appreciated as well as relevant

revisions and actualizations of previously presented work, project

summaries and PhD thesis.

ISAmI 2011 will be held at the University of Salamanca, Spain.

This symposium will be organized by the Biomedicine, Intelligent System

and Educational Technology Research Group (http://bisite.usal.es/) of

the University of Salamanca.

CONTRIBUTIONS

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As in the previous edition, the goals of ISAmI are:

? to create the appropriate conditions for researchers to disseminate their

research work;

? to strengthen the relationships among the AmI research groups;

? to facilitate the contact between new researchers and consolidated groups;

? to help the diffusion of new developments to the community.

In order to fulfill these objectives, submissions of substantial, original and

previously unpublished work are invited in all areas of Ambient Intelligence.

The papers can be presented from a formal, methodological, technical or

applied point of view focus, namely, in AmI Software and Applications.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Applications

- Ambient Assisted Living

- Ubiquitous Computing

- Artificial Intelligence for AmI

- Distributed Computing

- Domotics (Home Automation)

- Pervasive Computing

- Context Aware Computing

- Agent & Multiagent Systems for AmI

- Mobile Computing

- Robotics

- Computational Creativity

- Sentient Computing

- e-Health

- Context Modelling

- e Learning

- Memory Assistant

We are looking forward to receiving contributions from anyone interested

in participating and presenting their work at this symposium.

We are accepting two types of submissions:

1. Regular Paper. It must consist of original, relevant and previously

unpublished sound research results related to any of the topics of the

conference. It may be accepted as a Long paper, a Short paper or a Poster.

2. Doctoral Paper. PhD students are invited to present the topic and

progress of their research in order to obtain feedback from a panel of

experts.

Papers should be written in English, with a maximum of 8 (eight) pages.
