Workshop Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Environments [Mīkstie vāki]

Intelligent Environments (IE) play an increasingly important role in many areas of our lives, including education, healthcare and the domestic environment. The term refers to physical spaces incorporating pervasive computing technology used to achieve specific goals for the user, the environment or both. This book presents the proceedings of the workshops of the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE ‘13), held in Athens, Greece, in July 2013. The workshops which were presented in the context of this conference range from regular lectures to practical sessions. They provide a forum for scientists, researchers and engineers from both industry and academia to engage in discussions on newly emerging or rapidly evolving topics in the field. Topics covered in the workshops include artificial intelligence techniques for ambient intelligence; applications of affective computing in intelligent environments; smart offices and other workplaces; intelligent environment technology in education for creative learning; museums as intelligent environments; the application of intelligent environment technologies in the urban context for creating more sociable, intelligent cities and for constructing urban intelligence. IE can enrich user experience, better manage the environment’s resources, and increase user awareness of that environment. This book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the application of intelligent environments.

The conference was made up of 10 workshops, each with its own history and acronym. They are the eighth on artificial intelligence techniques for ambient intelligence, the first on applications of affective computing in intelligent environments, the first on constructing (urban) intelligence, the first on cloud-of-things, the third on smart offices and other workplaces, the second on future intelligent educational environments, the first on museums as intelligent environments, the first on intelligent environments for creative learning, the first on sociable smart cities, and the first on intelligent users and intelligent cities. The 78 papers are by information scientists and designers and architects. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
