Such devices, each<br>specialised in one or more capabilities, are intended to work together based<br>on an infrastructure of intelligent systems, to provide a variety of services<br>improving safety, security and the quality of life in ordinary living, travelling<br>and working environments.<br><b><u><br><br>ABOUT AMI 2018<br></u></b><br>The 2018 European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI 2018) has a<br>focus on the role of Ambient Intelligence<br><br>"<i>Towards a Smart and Human Centered Internet of Things</i>".<br><br>We invite submissions of full and short papers as well as posters, presenting<br>original research. AmI 2018 is an interdisciplinary venue for leading<br>international researchers, designers, and practitioners that present and<br>discuss new results in Ambient Intelligence.<br><br>AmI builds on the success of thirteen predecessor conferences, which<br>started in 2003 with the EUSAI-event in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. More<br>information about the AmI series can be found here:<br><a href="http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=c2NlLmNhcmxldG9uLmNhICwJCQlmZy1hcmNAbGlzdHMudW5pLXBhZGVyYm9ybi5kZQkyMDE4IEV1cm9wZWFuIENvbmZlcmVuY2Ugb24gQW1iaWVudCBJbnRlbGxpZ2VuY2UgKEFtSSAyMDE4KTogVGhpcmQgQ2FsbCBmb3IgUGFwZXJzCTE3OAlMaXN0cwkxNjEJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fami-conferences.org">http://ami-conferences.org</a> .<br><br>The Proceedings of AmI 2018 will be published by Springer in the Lecture<br>Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
