Cloud-based solutions for intelligent environments
Peter Mikulecký · 2014
A tremendous research effort is recently focused on developing intelligent environments based on new achievements in artificial intelligence, ambient intelligence, and wireless sensor networks. Intelligent (or smart) environments are usually developed for indoor applications, like ambient assisted independent living of seniors or handicapped persons in their homes, but there is a need of intelligent support of various human activities also in outdoor spaces, e.g., in streets, forests, or in nature in general. However, such solutions are still very rarely developed and published. The purpose of the paper is, after a review of several existing solutions, to discuss possibilities for cloud-based solutions in outdoor intelligent environments, considering multi-agent models and a cloud-based solution scenario-based approach.
