 Call for Papers Smarter Living: The Conquest of Complexity  AAAI Workshop
[San Francisco, 7/8 August 2011]


 AboutAn AAAI-2011 <http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/aaai11.php> workshop
to explore the role of Artificial Intelligence in the context of 'smarter
living': the application of artificial intelligence to allow people to live
effective, efficient and sustainable lives within their home, office, city
and broader ecosystems.

Goals

Intelligent technologies are transforming our common, every-day experience
at home, in the office and at play as our world becomes increasingly
instrumented and interconnected. Consider, for example, growing interest in
conferences and specializations such as RoboCup, Intelligent User
Interfaces, Commonsense Reasoning, the Internet of Things, Human-Robot
Interaction, Pervasive and Ambient Computing, Social Robotics, Analytics and
Game AI. While these disparate research efforts have distinct methods and
objectives, they each consider the relationship between intelligent systems
design and the lives and lifestyles of their users.

The purpose of this workshop is to explore the role of Artificial
Intelligence in the context of ‘smarter living’. This workshop will focus on
the application of artificial intelligence to allow people to live
effective, efficient and sustainable lives within their home, office, city
and broader ecosystems. The challenge of creating technologies for smarter
living is in the creation of new ideas for designing and developing systems
that can enact decisions autonomously, pay attention, adapt to change, and
anticipate stakeholder actions and intentions.

Homes, workplaces, cars, public spaces and human bodies are increasingly
wired with sensors and actuators. Robots are dropping in price and entering
the home. Mobile telephones and other computing devices are becoming
ubiquitous and pervasive. How do we represent the data and knowledge from
these devices? How do we reason with this knowledge effectively? How do we
apply this knowledge through feedback and actuation to improve lives? What
is the relationship between the user, the device and the artificial
intelligence?

This workshop is intentionally transdisciplinary. We seek to bring together
research interests that are not traditionally ‘close’. In particular, the
workshop will provide a venue for fruitful discussion between artificial
intelligence researchers exploring pervasive computing, social robotics,
cognitive science, software engineering, law, planning and knowledge
representation.
