Second order ambient intelligence

Second order ambient intelligence

This text attempts to describe an imagined future of ambient intelligence. It assumes that one day most of the current issues within ambient intelligence will be solved and that a second order ambient intelligence will be formulated, one with new research agendas. It describes several topics and ideas that might be part of this agenda and surmises on the prerequisites for this change.

Second Order Swarm Intelligence

An artificial Ant Colony System (ACS) algorithm to solve generalpurpose combinatorial Optimization Problems (COP) that extends previous AC models [21] by the inclusion of a negative pheromone, is here described. Several Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) were used as benchmark. We show that by using two different sets of pheromones, a second-order coevolved compromise between positive and negativ...

Multimodality and Ambient Intelligence

In this report we discuss multimodal interface technology. We present examples of multimodal interfaces and show problems and opportunities. Fusion of modalities is discussed and some roadmap discussions on research in Multimodality are summarized. This report also discusses future developments where rather than communicating with a single computer, users communicate with their environment usin...
