Ambient Intelligence - AmI
Introduction
AmI – Ambient Intelligence Wide-ranging vision on how the information society will develop People will be surrounded by intelligent intuitive interfaces in 2010 Embedded in all kinds of objects Capable of recognizing and responding to different individuals Works in a seamless, unobtrusive and invisible way
Emphasis of AmI Greater user-friendliness More efficient service support User-empowerment Support for human interactions
When will this happen?
AmI Scenarios
Maria: Personal ambient communicator Could be achieved relatively early
Dimitrios Connecting people and expressing identities Also near term
Carmen Traffic optimization Further out on the time horizon
Annette and Solomon Social learning by connecting people and creating a community memory Probably the furthest out
How will these happen?
Context and Methodology
Key technologies for AmI Ubiquitous computing Ubiquitous communication Intelligent user friendly interface
AmI implies Seamless environment of computing Advanced networking technology Specific interface
To implement AmI Critical socio-political factors Business and industrial models Technology requirements
Critical Factors
Critical socio-political factors Act as a facilitator of human interaction Enhance education and learning
Three sustainability dimensions Personal physical and psychological sustainability
Can AmI reduce mental / health risks from information overload? Will AmI generate new health impacts?
Socio-economic sustainability What’s the difference related with income, education and skills, age and work?
Environmental sustainability Hyper-mobile society New growth and material wealth associated with AmI
Trust and confidence Management of privacy
Controllable by ordinary people
Business and industrial models
Who will make AmI work? Who will produce it? Who will use?
Drivers of demand for AmI Improves in quality of life Enhancements in products and services Applications of AmI in industrial innovation and new products Applications in public service
Stand-alone models Embedding of intelligence into personal devices
Access model A main way to build usage above critical mass Get the strong multiplier effect
Technology Requirements
Key enabling technologies
Requirements Very unobtrusive hardware A seamless mobile/fixed web-based communications infrastructure Dynamic and massively distributed device networks A natural feeling human interface Dependability and security
Technology Requirements
Very unobtrusive hardware Self-generating power and micro-power usage Breakthrough in input / output Active devices to respond to users Nanoelectronics and other nanotechnologies that permit miniaturization trends A human factors design emphasis
Technology Requirements
A seamless mobile/fixed web-based communications infrastructure Integration of mobile and fixed and radio and wired network Core and access broadband networks Require more advanced techniques for dynamic network
Dynamic and massively distributed device networks Multi-domain networking Network embedded intelligence Distributed data management and storage systems Middleware
Technology Requirements
A natural feeling human interface Create system that are intuitive in use Demands for multimodal user interface design Pattern recognition (speech and gesture)
Dependability and security Safe, dependable and secure AmI-world Both physical and psychological Secure against deliberate misuse
Main Research Implications and Opportunities
AmI compatible enabling hardware Fully optical network
AmI open platforms? Interoperating embedded devices Wireless and fixed ad hoc network Self organizing and repairing software/middleware systems
Intuitive technologies Create human interface with variable emotional bandwidth
AmI support for individual and community development? Human factors
Metacontent service? Access to information that is pre-filtered
Security and trust
Conclusion
Scenario planning exercise Developed by IPTS (part of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre) Longer-term perspective for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Launched during 2000
Concept of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) A vision of the Information Society Central feature is that people are at the forefront of the Information Society 4 scenarios underscore the future view More scenarios could be conceived
Ways to uncover the specific steps and challenges in technology These things won’t happen automatically A focused effort is needed starting now
