4rd International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence

Description: Smart spaces, pervasive computing and ambient intelligence are different terms to allude to the capabilities of ‘adaptation’ and ‘responsiveness’, to provide the right service in a timely, unobtrusive and friendly manner. When conceiving a smart application, it is key to define how to seamlessly, effectively and securely interact with the user both to gather the appropriate information and to provide the required service. To date, most practical interaction strategies in smart spaces have relied in the use of mobile devices as mediators (e.g. mobile augmented reality). Recently also a number of methods based on “natural” interfaces (such as tangible ones ...
