The International Workshop on Agent Technology for Ambient Intelligence
////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\////\\\\
AgTAmI 2017
Bucharest, Romania
29-31 May 2017
http://aimas.cs.pub.ro/AgTAmI2017

in conjunction with
The 21st International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science (CSCS21)

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) aims to make our everyday living and working a better, a smarter and a more pleasant environment that pro-actively but non-intrusively supports us in our daily lives. It integrates technologies and algorithmic aspects from many domains: artificial intelligence, distributed and mobile computing, human-computer interfaces, sensor networks, collaborative and pervasive computing, robotics, context aware computing, and others. Considering AmI features and multi-disciplinary nature, intelligent agent technology is a very promising and suitable approach to support the development of AmI new systems and applications.

The Agent Technologies for Ambient Intelligence (AgTAmI) Workshop, now at its third edition, will bring together scientists and practitioners interested in discussing and exchanging views on how to make better use of agents and multi-agent systems in novel approaches and applications of AmI, IoT and Ubiquitous Computing, with the goal of creating intelligence embedded in the environment and adapting the environment to the user's interests and expectations.

A debate on directions and future directions of research in the area will be organized at the end of the Workshop, giving the participants the possibility to share ideas and make new contacts.
