Abstract
Ambient Intelligence refers to an environment that is sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to the presence of people. It builds on three recent key technologies: Ubiquitous Computing, Ubiquitous Communication, and Intelligent User Interfaces. To add intelligence to our environment places many challenges also for the databases essential for the implementation of intelligent environments, for instance in homes and workplaces. Such an environment relies heavily on constant information flows from the numerous sensors monitoring not only the environment, but also the occupants. Solving the problem of how to intelligently translate this data to correct behaviors of the environment is the key to be found.
