This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence, UCAmI 2014, held in Belfast, UK, in December 2014. The 57 papers presented together with 7 papers of the workshop AmIUA 2014, 8 papers of the workshop IoT 2014, 7 papers of the workshop EUSPAI 2014, and 6 papers of the workshop VSS 2014 were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are grouped in topical sections on key application domains for ambient intelligence, human interaction in ambient intelligence, ICT instrumentation and middleware support for smart environments and objects, adding intelligence for environment adaption, and security and privacy issues in AAL.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Ambient Assisted Living, IWAAL 2011, held in Torremolinos-Málaga, Spain, in June 2011 as a satellite event of IWANN 2011, the International Work-Conference on Artificial and Natural Neural Networks.. The 30 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They are organized in topical sections on mobile proposals for AAL, applications for cognitive impairments, e-health, smart and wireless sensors, applied technologies, frameworks and platforms, and methodologies and brain interfaces.
Digital Divide (DD) is a term that defines the division between people, commu- ties, states, countries, etc. with respect to the access to the new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Nowadays, it is essential to have tech- logical skills to work in a variety of jobs (i. e. administration, education, etc. ). Moreover, ICTs have become ubiquitous and they affect almost every aspect of our daily life. The way in which people face the task of using ICTs varies depending on a plethora of variables. The most analysed ones are the technological literacy and the educational level. These are two very important factors that strongly affect the success of the individuals in accessing ICT...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the workshops held at the 10th International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2010, in Vienna, Austria, in July 2010. The 60 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from over 100 submissions made to 9 international workshops and held in cooperation with the ICWE 2010 main conference. Those 9 workshops were selected from 16 proposals and encompassed: MDWE 2010, the 6th model-driven Web engineering workshop; QWE 2010, the first international workshop on quality in Web engineering; SWIM 2010, the second international workshop on semantic Web information management; SWEng 2010, the first international workshop on service Web engineering; ESW 2010, the first workshop on engineering soa and the Web; ComposableWeb 2010, the second international workshop on lightweight composition on the Web; EC 2010, the first international workshop on enterprise crowdsourcing; TouchTheWeb 2010, the first international workshop on Web-enabled objects; and WEBTOUR 2010, the first international workshop on Web engineering and tourism.
This book reports a set of novel research initiatives on ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing that help researchers and practitioners identify recent advances, as well as the frontiers in these study domains. During the last two decades, both study areas have gained great interest in industry and academia due to the benefits of using smart solutions in various application domains, such as health care, ambient-assisted living, personal security and privacy, citizen participation, provision of urban services, and precision agriculture and farming. The articles included in this book report solutions and provide empirical results on their suitability to address problems and opportunities in these application domains. The articles also include discussions on how the proposals and their evaluation results inform the design of the next generation of ubiquitous and smart systems. Researchers, practitioners, and graduate students take advantage of this knowledge to address innovation and engineering aspects of smart and ubiquitous solutions for the next decade.
