✦ Synopsis

This book covers key topics in the field of intelligent ambient adaptive systems. It focuses on the results worked out within the framework of the ATRACO (Adaptive and TRusted Ambient eCOlogies) project. The theoretical background, the developed prototypes, and the evaluated results form a fertile ground useful for the broad intelligent environments scientific community as well as for industrial interest groups.

The new edition provides:

• Chapter authors comment on their work on ATRACO with final remarks as viewed in retrospective
• Each chapter has been updated with follow-up work emerging from ATRACO
• An extensive introduction to state-of-the-art statistical dialog management for intelligent environments
• Approaches are introduced on how Trust is reflected during the dialog with the system
