Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects the physical world and digital world and is a convergence of multiple technologies, such as sensors, embedded systems, wireless communications, real-time analytics, as well as machine learning. In IoT environments, intelligent decision-making leads to Ambient Intelligence, which supports smart, sensitive, interactive, adaptive, autonomous, and personalized services to human needs. The internet of Things (IoT) has been a key technology that provides the basic infrastructure for Ambient Intelligence, while Ambient Intelligence enhances the use and capabilities of IoT devices.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together cutting-edge research, current trends, and developments of innovative topologies and algorithms for Ambient Intelligence, along with applications relevant to the IoT. Topics of interest may include (but are not limited to):
- Applications in health care: assisted living, fall detection, elderly care, patient monitoring, patient rehabilitation;
- Applications of combined pervasive/ubiquitous computing with AI;
- Wireless sensor technologies for IoTs;
- Data analysis and machine learning techniques on data collected from IoT devices;
- Innovative sensing devices and innovative uses of existing sensors;
- Use of mobile, wireless, visual, and multimodal sensor networks in intelligent systems;
- Virtual smart environments, interfaces with real world, social networks as smart environments;
- Sensor data fusion and collaboration in multisensor systems and networks;
- Mobile/wearable intelligence;
- Behavior modeling;
- Intention recognition;
- Robotics applied to smart environments;
- Distributed and collaborative computing and reasoning;
- Cognitive and emotional awareness.
