Computer Science and Ambient Intelligence (Hardcover)

This book focuses on ambient intelligence and addresses various issues related to data management, networking and HCI in this context. Taking a holistic view, it covers various levels of abstraction, ranging from fundamental to advanced concepts and brings together the contributions of various specialists in the field.
Moreover, the book covers the key areas of computer science concerned with the emergence of ambient intelligence (e.g. interaction, middleware, networks, information systems, etc.). It even goes slightly beyond the borders of computer science with contributions related to smart materials and ethics. The authors cover a broad spectrum, with some chapters dedicated to the presentation of basic concepts and others focusing on emerging applications in various fields such as health, transport and tourism.

本書專注於環境智能，並探討與數據管理、網絡和人機交互在此背景下相關的各種問題。從整體的角度來看，它涵蓋了從基礎到高級概念的各種抽象層次，並匯集了該領域各專家的貢獻。此外，本書還涵蓋了與環境智能的出現相關的計算機科學的關鍵領域（例如交互、中間件、網絡、信息系統等）。它甚至稍微超出了計算機科學的範圍，包括與智能材料和倫理有關的貢獻。作者們涵蓋了廣泛的範譜，其中一些章節專注於基本概念的介紹，其他章節則專注於在健康、交通和旅遊等各個領域中的新興應用。
