Abstract
Systems for Ambient Intelligence environments involve at some stage a service composition task, as a mean of adaptability to the context changes. However, users generally find themselves involved in the composition task, by selecting or deciding what to compose and how. This paper proposes the use of Artificial Intelligent Agents for the automation of the composition task, providing transparency from the user point of view.
