Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on ambient intelligence (AmI) has made significant advances in making the ideal a reality; it has also fostered a better understanding of the problem and the concept's potential. On the other hand, more technologies and knowledge areas are increasingly contributing to new advances in this paradigm. More than solutions, horizons are broadened, new application contexts are discovered, and new opportunities and new challenges are faced. In addition, if until now the effort was focused on the user, now it is needed to consider other dimensions. A more effective management of resources is required, promoting values associated with environmental footprint, sustainability, and recyclable economy, among many others.
This Special Issue of Sensors aims to supply the opportunity to publish original research about sensors, challenges, opportunities, trends, and applications within the scope of AmI.
Potential topics in the context of AmI include, but are not limited to:
- Smart/intelligent sensors (physical and virtual);
- Internet of Things;
- Sustainability awareness;
- Context aware computing;
- Sentient computing;
- Ambient assisted living;
- Human-centered interfaces;
- Human–environment interaction;
- Emotion recognition;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Ubiquitous computing;
- Pervasive computing;
- Fog computing;
- Edge computing;
- Big data;
- Blockchains;
- Cyber security.
