Ambient Intelligence Based Architecture for Automated Dynamic Environments.

Abstract

This paper presents an Ambient Intelligence based architecture that uses intelligent agents with reasoning and planning mechanisms. The agents have the ability to obtain automatic and real time information about the context using a set of technologies, such as radio frequency identification, wireless networks and wireless control devices. The architecture can be implemented on a wide diversity of dynamic environments. A case study is presented, describing the main characteristics of the planning mechanism supported by the architecture, implemented in a geriatric residence, giving the agents a high level of autonomy and flexibility for solving problems.
