Contents
The course will provide an overview of a new vision for Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) in which people are surrounded by intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in the everyday objects around them. In specific the course addresses the emergence of Ambient Mobility and the ubiquitous, pervasive information access, retrieval and display on mobile devices. It will focus on understanding enabling technologies and studying applications and experiments, and, to lesser extent, it will address the sociocultural impact. Additional topics of the lecture include system architectures for distributed systems, context awareness and management, user models and their implications, sensing and interaction in smart environments. The lecture discusses recent topics and research projects in the domain of Ambient Intelligence.

Learning Outcomes
After successfully attending the lecture, the students will be able to describe technology trends and research results in the domain of Ambient Intelligence. The most important concepts to create smart environments -- intelligent networks and objects, technologies for mobile, augmented reality, ubiquitous and pervasive information spaces, nomadic communications, real-time communication and related middle ware, embedded systems, sensor networks and wearable computing -- can be discussed and classified. After completing the practical part, students will be able to plan and realize the different project phases required to develop an Ambient-Intelligence solution.

Literature
Will be given according to actual topics.

Preconditions
