Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing Special Issue on Personalization and Situation Awareness in Smart Environments Springer (ISSN 1868-5145)
Call for Papers A smart environment is a digitally augmented physical ecosystem in which pervasive and non-invasive instrumented objects are intelligently perceptive and responsive to its inhabitants’ state. Smart infrastructures enable the extraction of knowledge from users and systems, by relying on non-intrusively acquired data coming from ubiquitous sensing devices. On top of this knowledge, user-centric paradigms aim at getting to know and learning about the users, to adapt and personalize services and applications to their preferences and needs. In a complementary way, environment-centric paradigms exploit information pursuing the holistic understanding of the smart space’s status and its evolution, through situation analysis techniques, to enhance perception and decision making of global management services. This Special Issue aims at gathering recent technology trends and advances in the supportive technologies for personalization and situation awareness in smart spaces. In particular, we invite the submission of high-quality papers reporting late-breaking research on: • Methodologies and tools for end-user creation of personalized smart environments. • Machine learning techniques to automatically detect user’s needs and objectives. • Sensors, actuators and smart objects for personalization: devices and infrastructures. • Data fusion, reasoning and forecasting tools for situational awareness in smart environments. • Situation awareness through mobile social and participatory technologies. • Novel concepts of situation-aware services in the smart city (e.g. energy, traffic and public transportation, public services, event management, emergencies, etc.). • Use of personalization in smart persuasive applications in different domains (e.g. personal health, assisted living, tourism, etc.). • Test-beds and real-world deployments and user evaluation of smart services based on personalization features or situational awareness. • Value co-creation processes for smart service design. The manuscripts cannot have been published or be currently submitted for publication elsewhere.
