Ambient intelligence

The concept of ambient intelligence or AmI is a vision in which computing surrounds humans and networking technology is unobtrusively embedded in their surroundings. The concept of ambient intelligence (AmI) was developed by the ISTAG advisory group to the European Commission’s DG Information Society and the Media. AmI puts the emphasis on user-friendliness, efficient and distributed services support, user empowerment, and support for human interactions. This vision assumes a shift away from PCs to a variety of devices which are unobtrusively embedded in our environment and which are accessed via intelligent interfaces.
