Intelligent Environments are supposed to act proactively anticipating user’s needs and preferences in order to support people in their daily lives. Therefore, the capability of an Intelligent Environment to learn user’s habits and common behaviours becomes an important step towards allowing an environment to provide such personalized services. In this chapter, we use two scenarios, we highlight...

8 1094-7167/03/$17.00 © 2003 IEEE IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS believe is the first on-road demonstration of autonomous passenger vehicles performing cooperative passing and traversal of unsignalized intersections. (Unsignalized intersections have no traffic lights, stop signs, or yield signs to control traffic flow.) This demonstration mated ICSL’s communication and collaborative decision-making s...

Projects involving the investigation and construction of Intelligent Environments have had reasonable success in demonstrating their potential applicability in the real world. However, most of these efforts pay little or no attention to their security and privacy implications. These are key issues that need to be addressed in order for Intelligent Environments to be deployed broadly. In this pa...
