Abstract
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) deals with a new world where computing devices are spread everywhere (ubiquity), allowing the human being to interact in physical world environments in an intelligent and unobtrusive way. These environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing requirements and forecasting behaviours. AmI environments may be so diverse, such as homes, offices, meeting rooms, schools, hospitals, control centers, transports, touristic attractions, stores, sport installations, music devices, etc. In the aims of Ambient Intelligence, research envisages to include more intelligence in the AmI environments, allowing a better support to the human being and the access to the essential knowledge to make better decisions when interacting with these environments. This paper can be seen as a State of the Art of Ambient Intelligence, according to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) perspective. We will define Ambient Intelligence; refer some of their prototype and systems; and to analyze how the main Artificial Intelligence areas can be applied.
