Human-centered Computing

  • Chapter
Handbook of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments

Abstract

Computing is at one of itsmost excitingmoments in history, playing an essential role in supporting many important human activities. The explosion in the availability of information in various media forms and through multiple sensors and devices means, on one hand, that the amount of data we can collect will continue to increase dramatically, and, on the other hand, that we need to develop new paradigms to search, organize, and integrate such information to support all human activities.
