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

Generic AmI Techno Line

Time Line for Story Maria

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
