[Dbworld] UCAmI 2017 Call For Papers

11th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence

UCAmI 2017

http://mamilab.esi.uclm.es/ucami2017

Villanova University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

November 7 to 10th, 2017

Conference Background & Goals

The Ubiquitous Computing (UC) idea envisioned by Weiser in 1991,
has recently evolved to a more general paradigm known as Ambient
Intelligence (AmI) that represents a new generation of
user-centred computing environments and systems. These solutions
aim to find new ways to obtain a better integration of the
information technology in everyday life devices and activities.

AmI environments are integrated by several
autonomous computational devices of modern life ranging from
consumer electronics to mobile phones. Ideally, people in an AmI
environment will not notice these devices, but they will benefit
from the services these solutions provide them. Such devices are
aware of the people present in those environments by reacting to
their gestures, actions and context. Recently the interest in
AmI environments has grown considerably due to new challenges
posed by society, demanding highly innovative services, such as
vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET), Ambient Assisted Living
(AAL), e-Health, Internet of Things and Home Automation among
others. The main focus of this edition of the UCAmI Conference
will be "Ambient Intelligence: Sensing, Processing and Using
Environmental Information".
