Intelligent room infrastructure to support research in Ambient Intelligence (AmI)

Joint project by LIMSI-CNRS and Supélec, funded by Digiteo and Région Ile-de-France

Context Current trend: computing capabilities added to devices: first: car radios, telephones, cameras, and now: tickets, clothing, furniture, walls, doors... Convergence of the physical and digital worlds Concept of Ambient Intelligence: ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous communication, intelligent user interfaces.

Scientific Issues Need to know the context of use → perception issues Heterogeneous population of users and devices, need for an easy-to-use environment → adaptation and multimodal interaction Proactive and intelligent behavior → reasoning, inference, knowledge representation

Project Objectives Build an experimental room as a testbed for research into intelligent buildings Feature numerous sensors and actuators linked via a dedicated network infrastructure People involved: technologists, who can deploy new devices and new interaction methods in the IRoom, sociologists, who can study user behavior in “ambient” environments.
