issues related to data management, networking and HCI in this context.
Taking a holistic view, it covers various levels of abstraction,
ranging from fundamental to advanced concepts and brings together the
contributions of various specialists in the field.
Moreover, the
book covers the key areas of computer science concerned with the
emergence of ambient intelligence (e. g. interaction, middleware,
networks, information systems, etc.). It even goes slightly beyond the
borders of computer science with contributions related to smart
materials and ethics. The authors cover a broad spectrum, with some
chapters dedicated to the presentation of basic concepts and others
focusing on emerging applications in various fields such as health,
transport and tourism.
