Abstract

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a new paradigm in information technology, in which people are empowered through a digital environment that is aware of their presence and context, and is sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to their needs, habits, gestures and emotions. In this document we present the activities, projects and research that we have addressed today, based on ideology proposed of Ambient Intelligence. The document has been classified in the following way: we present a related ambient intelligence research overview to the lines of research that we are developing. We studies aspects of ambient intelligent and ubiquitous computing; augmented reality; semantic web; health and ambient assisted living (AAL). Some projects in which it has worked, projects that are currently being developed around intelligent environments are also presented. Some initial ideas proposed as a future work plan. The inclusion of aspect about ambient intelligence in the computer science engineering is very important to explain to the students about this new and promise technology.
