Ambient Intelligence and Knowledge Processing in Distributed Autonomous AAL-Components: Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction

Authors

With the development of computers regarding integration, size and performance we observe a quick increase of computational intelligence into all areas of our daily life. It is shown how to build Ad-Hoc-networks with our middleware to generate emergent intelligence in the behavior of the complete networks. Our approach shows the application of AAL-components (components for ambient assisted living (AAL)). Here we have as well the questions of sustainable development: increasing consumption of resources and energy in the production phase, reduced periods of use phases. Ambient computing and ambient intelligence show a high potential to modify the society's treatment of resources and energy. The interaction with "intelligent" things will change our conception of production and consumption.
