Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing & Ambient Intelligence (UCAmI 2023), 1st ed. 2023 Volume 2 Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems Series, Vol. 842

This book serves as a comprehensive compilation of groundbreaking research endeavors within the realms of ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing. These initiatives are pivotal in enabling both researchers and practitioners to discern recent breakthroughs and emerging frontiers in these fields. Encompassing a wide array of domains, including Ambient Active and Assisted Living (A3L), the Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Environments, Data Science, and Human-Ambient Interaction, acts as a valuable resource for scholars, professionals, and graduate students alike.

The primary aim of this book is to empower individuals within the academic and professional community to harness this wealth of knowledge. It equips them to tackle innovative challenges and engineer smart and ubiquitous solutions that will shape the landscape of the next decade. By amalgamating insights from various facets of ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing, this book encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration and fosters a holistic understanding of the field. Thus, it not only highlights the recent strides in these areas but also serves as a roadmap for future exploration and innovation, paving the way for a smarter and more interconnected world.
