Ambient Intelligence
Ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Intelligent User Friendly Interfaces Better integration of technology into our environment, so that people can freely and interactively use it Seamless (and secure) delivery of services and applications
Motivation
Context servers
Characteristics of AmI
Awareness
ability of the system to locate and recognize objects and people, their locations, and their needs
Intelligence
allows the system to analyze the context, adapt to people that live in it, learn from their behavior, and eventually to recognize as well as show emotion
Adaptable
learn about the environment and the people within it in order to optimize their own behavior
User Context
Any information that can be used to characterize the user and his situation
Temporal and spatial location Environmental attributes Resources nearby Physiological measurements Schedule, agenda Social context
Manoj lands to an airport in a Far Eastern Country The immigration officer replaced by a device
Through its sensors, detects identities, performs visa and passport control (using Manojs P-Com)
A rented car waiting for him at the exit His Hotel has been reserved by his personal software agent
Issues to be considered
Identity information
Passport and visa information Machine processable Interoperable Context Ontologies should be developed
P-Com
Issues to be considered
Privacy
Access should be limited to authorized entities The user should be able to state how much information to disclose and to whom Immigration device
System Architecture
Context Ontology
Machine processable Can be queried through query languages Captures consensual knowledge
Context Ontology
Define the properties and allowed values Define the relationships among the classes Provides a means for intelligent agents to reason about the contextual information
OWL is a semantic markup language being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium
Services should be discovered based on their semantic descriptions Query the context of the user Maps the preferences of the user with the properties of the services advertised

ADVANTAGES
REDUCING THE HUMAN INTERACTION & EFFORT BE USER FRIENDLY MAKE BETTER UTILISATION OF TIME REDUCE TRANSPORTAION ENHANCE PRIVACY
Applications
A variety of technologies can be used to enable AMIenvironments such as. RFID ICT implant Sensors Software agents Affective computing Nanotechnology Biometrics
Conclusions
In computing, ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. There is a need for strong mechanisms for storing and processing context Ambient intelligence is a vision on the future of consumer electronics, telecommunications and computing
