Selected Papers from the 9th International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence 2018

Dear Colleagues,

A selection of the best works presented during the 9^th International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence 2018 will be collected in a Special Issue of the journal Sensors, “Selected Papers from the 9^th International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence 2018”. The conference’s focus will be on Ambient Intelligence, and will be held in Toledo, 20–23 June, 2018.

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a recent paradigm emerging from Artificial Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools, assisting people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s lives more comfortable.

Another main concern of AmI originates from the human–computer interaction domain and focuses on offering ways to interact with systems in a more natural way by means user friendly interfaces. This field is evolving quickly, as can be witnessed by the emerging natural language and gesture-based types of interaction.

The inclusion of computational power and communication technologies in everyday objects is growing, and their integration into our environments should be as invisible as possible. In order for AmI to be successful, human interactions with computing power and embedded systems in the surroundings should be smooth and should occur without people actually noticing it. The only awareness people should have, arises from AmI[DM1] : more safety, comfort and wellbeing, emerging in a natural and inherent way. ISAmI is the International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence, which aims to bring together researchers from various disciplines that constitute the scientific field of Ambient Intelligence to present and discuss the latest results, new ideas, projects and lessons learned.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
