Next Generation Intelligent Environments Ambient Adaptive Systems [Hardcover]

This book covers key topics in the field of intelligent ambient adaptivesystems. It focuses on the results worked out within the framework of theATRACO (Adaptive and TRusted Ambient eCOlogies) project. The theoreticalbackground, the developed prototypes, and the evaluated results form a fertileground useful for the broad intelligent environments scientific community aswell as for industrial interest groups.

The new edition provides:

• Chapter authors commenton their work on ATRACO with final remarks as viewed in retrospective
• Each chapter has beenupdated with follow-up work emerging from ATRACO
• An extensive introduction tostate-of-the-art statistical dialog management for intelligentenvironments 
• Approaches areintroduced on how Trust is reflected during the dialog with the system
