Abstract
Ambient intelligence (AmI) [1] provides a wide-ranging vision on how the Information Society will evolve, since the goal is to conceive platforms for seamless delivery of services and applications making them effectively invisible to the user. This is possible by gathering best practices from Ubiquitous Computing, Ubiquitous Communication, and Intelligent User Friendly Interfaces areas. This convergence will lead to smart environments that surround people in pro-active way: the environment reacts autonomously to people by using intelligent intuitive interfaces (often invisible) that are embedded in all kinds of chip-enriched objects (furniture, clothes, vehicles, roads and other smart materials). This means that computing and networking technology is everywhere, embedded in everyday objects in order to automate tasks or enhance the environment for its occupants.
