A glimpse of multimedia ambient intelligence

Published: 26 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) characterizes a new paradigm for novel interactions between a person and his/her everyday environment. This will impose major challenges on multimedia research to support human-centered information, communication, services and entertainment everyday and everywhere.
This tutorial presents a brief overview of systems, technologies and applications that are part of Multimedia AmI. It is the purpose of this tutorial first to give an introduction to Multimedia AmI and Technology Roadmapping. It is then introduced the multimedia AmI services, components and access networks that are essential for the development of AmI environments. Next, fundamental technologies are presented such as wired/wireless, gateway, and middleware technologies. Finally, some applications together with the concepts of "Personal Administrator" and "Extended Home Environment" are introduced. This paper gives a brief overview of the areas covered in the tutorial.
