Abstract
The term Ambient Intelligence refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people; in this paper an example of ambient intelligence whose goal is to enhance the experience of pedestrians moving inside the related physical environment will be presented. In the described approach the environment itself is endowed with a set of sensors (to perceive humans or other physical entities such as dogs, bicycles, etc.), interacting with a set of actuators that choose their actions in an attempt improve the overall experience of these users; in particular, the introduced system realizes an adaptive illumination facility. The model for the interaction and action of sensors and actuators is a dissipative multilayered cellular automata, supporting a self-organization of the system as a response to the presence and movements of people inside it. The paper will introduce the model, as well as the results of simulations of its application in a concrete case study. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
