The European Conference on Ambient Intelligence is the prime venue for research on Ambient Intelligence, with an international and interdisciplinary character. It brings together researchers and practitioners from the fields of science, engineering, and, design working towards the vision of Ambient Intelligence. AmI 2019 builds on the success of thirteen predecessor conferences, which started in 2003 with the EUSAI-event in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. More information about the AmI series can be found here: http://ami-conferences.org
Ambient intelligence refers to normal working and living environments being surrounded by embedded devices that can merge unobtrusively and in natural ways using information and intelligence hidden in the network connecting these devices (e.g. The Internet of Things). Such devices, each specialised in one or more capabilities, are intended to work together based on an infrastructure of intelligent systems, to provide a variety of services improving safety, security and the quality of life in ordinary living, travelling and working environments.
AmI2019 will provide a meeting point for each of these communities, aiming for intensive networking and scientific debate, and shaping visions of the future.
This year's event focus topic is “Data-driven Ambient Intelligence” that follows the vision of Calm Technology, where technology is useful but does not demand our full attention or interfere with our usual behavior and activities.
The Proceedings of AmI2019 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
Best Paper Award: 1,000 EUR, sponsored by Springer.
Invited Speakers
- Fabio Paternò, CNR, Italy
- Alex Gluhak, Digital Catapult, UK
- Salvatore Iaconesi and Oriana Persico, Art is Open, Italy
- John Pagonis, Zanshin Labs, UK
Submission Guidelines
We invite submissions of full and short papers presenting original research. AmI 2019 is an interdisciplinary venue for leading international researchers, designers, and practitioners that present and discuss new results in Ambient Intelligence.
The length of each paper including figures and references may not exceed 16 pages for regular papers and 6 pages for short papers.
Papers must be anonymized to facilitate blind review. Authors are encouraged to minimize any references that may reveal the identity of the authors and their institutions. Relevant references to an author's previous research should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a neutral way. All papers will be reviewed by at least three Program Committee members.
All paper and poster submissions must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. For preparation of papers and posters please follow the instructions for authors available at the Springer LNCS Web page (http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Authors of full and short papers are welcome to submit using the conference review system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ami2019

Workshops
AmI2019 hosts one-day or half-day workshops that enhance and complement the conference program by providing an opportunity to present new or emerging and cutting-edge topics of particular interest in the field and related areas.
- Ambient Intelligence for promoting Sustainable Behaviors (BRAINS)
- Edge Machine Learning for Smart IoT Environments (EDGING)
- Ambient Intelligence in the Blockchain Era: How Decentralized Services can Revolutionize the Traditional Client Server Paradigm in Automation and Ambient Intelligence
Tutorial on Embedded AI
AmI2019 hosts a one-day tutorial organized by ST Microelectronics on Microcontrollers and Artificial Intelligence that will take place during Wednesday, 13th of November, 2019.
The tutorial will focus on how a pre-trained neural network model output from a broad range of the most popular AI frameworks (including Caffe, CNTK, Keras, Lasagne, TensorFlow, and theano), can be maped to an optimized DNN that is adapted to the memory and processing-power capabilities of a target STM32 microcontroller. Techniques on how to check the functionality of the adapted DCNN – which can be 10x smaller than the original, with negligible loss of accuracy.
The tutorial will include a practical session with a microcontroller board and your laptop. Participants are encouraged to bring their pre-trained feed forward neural network targeting STM32 resources in Keras or Caffe as a challenge to get it mapped and running.
PhD Forum
AmI2019 hosts the PhD Forum that intends to bring together PhD students working on theories and applications of Ambient Intelligence. We particularly encourage students that are somewhere in the middle of their research to submit to this Forum.
Poster & Demo Session
AmI 2019 hosts the Poster & Demo sessions. The Posters session aims to solicit papers showing work in progress and thus raise opportunities to present and discuss current work in an informal setting. The Demo session provides a venue for the latest breakthroughs in ambient intelligence to be presented live to the research community.
