Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is seeking to create innovative technical
aids to accommodate the needs of the rapidly evolving aging workforce as
well as the needs of the growing number of citizens requiring health
assistance and health care on a regular basis. To this end, AAL
seamlessly integrates information and communication technologies to
support the daily routine activities of elderly and people in need of
care assistance, while maintaining their independent, safe, and private
lifestyles within homes, residences, and open spaces.
Several AAL solutions are currently available. These solutions are
increasingly relying on the use of emergent technologies which are
capable of intelligently delivering personalized services to large
number of individuals anytime, anywhere. In this regards, Wireless
Sensor Networks (WSNs), Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems
(CPSs), Big Data, and Cloud computing are examples of recent
technologies which are being used independently or jointly to leverage
the quality, security, and pervasiveness of services. However, because
of several constraints, including mobility, heterogeneity of ubiquitous
devices, users’ requirements, and dynamic contexts, innovative
algorithms, standards, architectures, and platforms are still needed to
allow for an efficient collection and secure reporting of real-time data
about health conditions of elderly and people in need of assistance as
well as to allow for the storage, processing, visualization, and
interaction with the services provided. These innovative solutions are
expected to opening possibilities for new forms of communication between
people and pervasive devices, between healthcare providers and
healthcare consumers, as well as between these devices themselves. They
are also expected to opening new approaches for generating, delivering
and interacting with aid services.
The special track on Emergent Technologies for Ambient Assisted Living
(ETAAL) will provide a leading edge, scholarly and professional forum
for researchers, engineers, experts, and students alike to share their
state-of-the art research and developmental works related to the
integration of cutting-edge technologies for Assistant Ambient Living
services.
Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research and
development results, case-studies, surveys, and applications addressing
the topics of ETAAL, which include but are not limited to:
- Smart Environments and Housing
