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></u></b>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>The workshops at AmI2018 will enhance and complement the conference<br>program by providing an opportunity to present new or emerging and<br>cutting-edge topics of particular interest in the field and related areas. <br><br>We invite workshop proposals in any topic(s) of interest to Ambient<br>Intelligence and related to the conference. Each workshop proposal should<br>be emailed to the two workshop chairs, and should contain the following<br>information:<br>• workshop title,<br>• duration (half day or full day),<br>• a description of the specific scientific/technical scope of the workshop,<br>• a list of topics of interest,<br>• the reasons why the workshop should be held within AmI2018,<br>• details of all the members of the Organizing Committee (OC),<br>• relevant experience of the organizers,<br>• identification of the member of the OC who is the contact person,<br>• the list of members of Workshop Program Committee,<br>• a preliminary version of the Call for Papers,<br>• the proposed structure of the workshop,<br>• planned forms of publicity and publication plans (if any, or if they want to<br> publish in the collective volume, see below).<br><br><b><u>Workshop Acceptance Rules<br></u></b>The decision on which proposed workshops get accepted will be carried-out<br>through a two-stage process. Initially some of the workshops proposed will<br>be short-listed, based on the quality of the proposal and the relevance of the<br>topics covered.

Indicative numbers: half-day workshops should have at least 5<br>registrations and full day workshops should have at least 10.
