註釋
Intelligent environments are revolutionizing the ways in which people live, work, and play. Such an environment, typically called a smart environment, is a small, specialized world where all kinds of devices work together to make inhabitants' lives more comfortable. These environments are as varied and individualized as the people who live there, with technologies that range from safety and security systems, to robotic lawn mowers, to intelligent cars, kitchens, and more. The interdisciplinary scope of the field integrates aspects of machine learning, human-machine interfacing, wireless networking, mobile communications, sensor networks, and pervasive computing. Smart Environments explores the state of the art in this exploding field, and shows the impact these environments are having in homes, offices, classrooms, hospitals and automobiles. It examines everything from design and architecture to health care issues and software engineering is explored and utilized in these far-reaching applications. With contributions from leading researchers in a wide array of disciplines, Smart Environments covers such important topics as: wireless sensor networks, middleware, home and office networking and appliances, location and estimation techniques, automated decision-making, privacy and security issues, assisted environments for individuals with special needs, future trends, and much more.
