AmI.d
2006
is part of the Smart
Event'06 which encompasses 4 international
meetings:
- e-Smart, 7th edition, the leading managerial
and strategic smart card industry conference (Sept.
20-22)
- World e-ID, 3rd edition, conference
devoted to the emerging deployment of trusted electronic
identities and seamless access to e-services (Sept.
20-22)
- Ambient Intelligence Developments, 1st
edition, conference dedicated to Ambient Intelligence
(Sept. 20-22)
- Smart University, 2nd edition, educational
program in Smart Card and ID, designed and delivered
by high level academics (Sept. 19-20)
More than 550 high level professionals involved
in smart cards and ID are expected in Sophia Antipolis
from September 19 up to September 22, 2006. This
new edition of "World e-ID" is an ideal
opportunity to share visions, see new perspectives
and opportunities and to develop and extend professional
peer to peer contacts and networks.

Future Ambient Intelligence (AmI) environments
will contain a large number of heterogeneous computing
and communication infrastructures and devices that
will provide new functionalities, enhance user productivity,
and ease everyday tasks. Ubiquitous computers will
seamlessly enhance the way we work and even the
way we live thanks to the access to information
technologies that will optimize the environment
for people's needs in different physical spaces.
Anytime/anywhere access to information and services
will be provided.
In this scenario, applications will be influenced
by the computational, physical and behavioural contexts
that surround the user (for instance, because of
resource availability and security or privacy requirements).
Furthermore, the concept of application as we know
it today will disappear. Applications in AmI environments
will evolve from well-defined pieces of software,
with static architectures, well-defined limits and
owners, to what we could call AmI ecosystems, lacking
a fixed architecture, controlled limits and even
owners.
The combination of heterogeneity, mobility, dynamism,
sheer number of devices, along with the growing
demands in aspects such as security and dependability
(S&D), make the development of software for
these ecosystems vastly more complex and increasingly
difficult. It will be impossible, even for the most
experienced and knowledgeable developers, to foresee
all possible situations and interactions which may
arise in AmI environments and therefore create suitable
solutions to address the users' requirements.
Moreover, developers will have to face the fact
that some necessary pieces of software, communication
infrastructures and hardware devices will not be
under their control.
The focus of this edition will be on the enabling
technologies for AmI. In particular, we believe
that the
development of new software engineering and security
engineering practices especially adapted to the
new challenges introduced by AmI ecosystems is a
key factor for the real-world development of the
AmI concept. Original papers dealing with AmI
issues are solicited related (but not limited to)
the following
topics of interest.

We
inform prospective authors that 2 tracks are proposed:
Research Track and Open Track
Research Track:
Authors are invited to submit original papers, not
previously submitted to other conferences or journals,

ideas/contributions and the main points of interest
for the Ambient Intelligence Developments audience.
Submissions should be between 300-500 words and
limited to one A4 page.
Full presentation and/or extended abstracts must
