3. The Story - Maria Talking with ambient intelligence infrastructure Travel to a far eastern country only with hand baggage Maria ‘P-Com’ On her wrist Self-arranged VISA Rented car without a key Drive with support system guiding her Calls from her daughter Personal agent deal with the price Use of high property access on traffic Ambient Intelligence - AmI Parking slot automatically selected Room with personal setting Voice commanded music and bath Video with her daughter And local news Get messages after meeting Communication level specified for meeting File stored on secure server Presentation file specialized according to local preference Health-monitor You need a rest Back to here room and enjoy music

4. Introduction • AmI – Ambient Intelligence • Wide-ranging vision on how the information society will develop • People will be surrounded by intelligent intuitive interfaces in 2010 • Embedded in all kinds of objects • Capable of recognizing and responding to different individuals • Works in a seamless, unobtrusive and invisible way • Emphasis of AmI • Greater user-friendliness • More efficient service support • User-empowerment • Support for human interactions • When will this happen?

5. AmI Scenarios • Maria: • Personal ambient communicator • Could be achieved relatively early • Dimitrios • Connecting people and expressing identities • Also near term • Carmen • Traffic optimization • Further out on the time horizon • Annette and Solomon • Social learning by connecting people and creating a community memory • Probably the furthest out • How will these happen?

6. Context and Methodology • Key technologies for AmI • Ubiquitous computing • Ubiquitous communication • Intelligent user friendly interface • AmI implies • Seamless environment of computing • Advanced networking technology • Specific interface • To implement AmI • Critical socio-political factors • Business and industrial models • Technology requirements

7. Critical Factors • Critical socio-political factors • Act as a facilitator of human interaction • Enhance education and learning • Three sustainability dimensions • Personal physical and psychological sustainability • Can AmI reduce mental / health risks from information overload? • Will AmI generate new health impacts? • Socio-economic sustainability • What’s the difference related with income, education and skills, age and work? • Environmental sustainability • Hyper-mobile society • New growth and material wealth associated with AmI • Trust and confidence • Management of privacy • Controllable by ordinary people

8. Business and industrial models • Who will make AmI work? Who will produce it? Who will use? • Drivers of demand for AmI • Improves in quality of life • Enhancements in products and services • Applications of AmI in industrial innovation and new products • Applications in public service • Stand-alone models • Embedding of intelligence into personal devices • Access model • A main way to build usage above critical mass • Get the strong multiplier effect

9. Technology Requirements • Key enabling technologies • Requirements • Very unobtrusive hardware • A seamless mobile/fixed web-based communications infrastructure • Dynamic and massively distributed device networks • A natural feeling human interface • Dependability and security

11. Time Line for Story Maria

12. Technology Requirements • Very unobtrusive hardware • Self-generating power and micro-power usage • Breakthrough in input / output • Active devices to respond to users • Nanoelectronics and other nanotechnologies that permit miniaturization trends • A human factors design emphasis

13. Technology Requirements • A seamless mobile/fixed web-based communications infrastructure • Integration of mobile and fixed and radio and wired network • Core and access broadband networks • Require more advanced techniques for dynamic network • Dynamic and massively distributed device networks • Multi-domain networking • Network embedded intelligence • Distributed data management and storage systems • Middleware

14. Technology Requirements • A natural feeling human interface • Create system that are intuitive in use • Demands for multimodal user interface design • Pattern recognition (speech and gesture) • Dependability and security • Safe, dependable and secure AmI-world • Both physical and psychological • Secure against deliberate misuse

15. Main Research Implications and Opportunities • AmI compatible enabling hardware • Fully optical network • AmI open platforms? • Interoperating embedded devices • Wireless and fixed ad hoc network • Self organizing and repairing software/middleware systems • Intuitive technologies • Create human interface with variable emotional bandwidth • AmI support for individual and community development? • Human factors • Metacontent service? • Access to information that is pre-filtered • Security and trust

16. Conclusion • Scenario planning exercise • Developed by IPTS (part of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre) • Longer-term perspective for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) • Launched during 2000 • Concept of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) • A vision of the Information Society • Central feature is that people are at the forefront of the Information Society • 4 scenarios underscore the future view • More scenarios could be conceived • Ways to uncover the specific steps and challenges in technology • These things won’t happen automatically • A focused effort is needed starting now
