Description
To create truly effective human-centric ambient intelligence systems both engineering and computing methods are needed. This is the
first book to bridge data processing and intelligent reasoning methods for the creation of human-centered ambient intelligence systems.
Interdisciplinary in nature, the book covers topics such as multi-modal interfaces, human-computer interaction, smart environments and
pervasive computing, addressing principles, paradigms, methods and applications.
This book will be an ideal reference for university
researchers, R&D engineers, computer engineers, and graduate students working in signal, speech and video processing, multi-modal
interfaces, human-computer interaction and applications of ambient intelligence.
Hamid Aghajan is a Professor
of Electrical Engineering (consulting) at Stanford University, USA. His research is on user-centric vision applications in smart homes,
assisted living / well being, smart meetings, and avatar-based social interactions. He is Editor-in-Chief of "Journal of Ambient Intelligence
and Smart Environments", has chaired ACM/IEEE ICDSC 2008, and organized workshops/sessions/tutorials at ECCV, ACM MM, FG, ECAI, ICASSP,
CVPR.
Juan Carlos Augusto is a Lecturer at the University of Ulster, UK. He is conducting research
on Smart Homes and Classrooms. He has given tutorials at IJCAI’07 and AAAI’08. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Book Series on "Ambient Intelligence
and Smart Environments" and the "Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments". He has co-Chaired ICOST’06, AITAmI’06/07/08,
and is Workshops Chair for IE’09.
Ramón López-Cózar Delgado is a Professor at the Faculty of Computer
Science and Telecommunications of the University of Granada, Spain. His research interests include speech recognition and understanding,
dialogue management and Ambient Intelligence. He is a member of ISCA (International Speech Communication Association), SEPLN (Spanish
Society on Natural Language Processing) and AIPO (Spanish Society on HCI).
