Preface
The4thInternationalJointConferenceonAmbientIntelligence(AmI2013)was
held in Dublin in December 2013. As is usual with this conference series, a
number of workshops were held before the main conference event. The purpose
of these workshops was to explore a range of topics necessary for the fulfilment
oftheambientintelligencevision.Significantresearchmustbe undertakenifthe
attainment ofthis visionis to be achieved. Five workshopsexploreda variety of
topics pertinent to the evolution of ambient intelligence.
One of the cherished objectives of AmI is the improvement of quality of life
inallitsdiversefacets.ThustheInternationalWorkshoponIntelligentEnviron-
ments Supporting Healthcare and Well-being (WISHWell 2013) focused on one
key aspect, that of the effective provision of social and healthcare to those who
need it.
Middleware offers an intuitive paradigm for delivering sufficient software ar-
tifactabstractionswhendesigningandimplementingarbitrarysystems.Increas-
ingly, such systems cannot function in isolation but rather require additional
contextual information to enable effective operation. The Third International
WorkshoponPervasiveandContext-AwareMiddleware(PerCAM2013)sought
to explore issues pertinent to the design and implementation of context-aware
middleware platforms.
Increasingly,there is a need for integratingrobots with both new and preex-
isting infrastructures. This poses many challenges while giving rise to exciting
possibilities.TheSecondInternationalWorkshoponAdaptiveRoboticEcologies
(ARE 2013) sought to explore how robots may collaborate with a smart device
network so as to complete arbitrary tasks in a coordinated and goal-oriented
fashion.
Within the broad domain of smart environments, a critical challenge is to
designfortheacceptanceandadoptionofservices.Fundamentaltothisobjective
is the issue of design, and particularly aesthetic design. Thus the International
Workshop on Aesthetic Intelligence (AxI 2013) focused on the nature of the
design process in smart space contexts.
Ambient intelligence straddles a multitude of dimensions; inherent in each
dimension is the issue of uncertainty. To successfully deliver human-centric in-
frastructures,itisessentialthatuncertaintybemanagedrobustlyandeffectively.
Asasteptowardthisobjective,theFirstInternationalWorkshoponUncertainty
in Ambient Intelligence (UAmI 2013) strove to identify strategies for managing
uncertainty at all stages of the software development process.
In conclusion, andonbehalf of the chairsof AmI 2013,I wouldlike to thank
all of those involved in the organization and conduct of the workshops. Such
