Dr. Bravo supervised 7 PhD and over 45 Computer Science undergraduate theses. Since 2003, José Bravo is the organizer of the International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing & Ambient Intelligence (UCAmI).

Professor Chris Nugent was awarded a BEng Electronic Systems and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering both from the University of Ulster.  He currently holds the position of full Professor of Biomedical Engineering.  His research interests include the development and evaluation of technologies to support pervasive healthcare within smart environments. Specifically, this has involved research in the topics of mobile based reminding solutions, activity recognition and behaviour modelling and more recently technology adoption modelling.  He is currently the director of the Pervasive Computing Research Centre at Ulster University and is also the co-Principal Investigator of the Connected Health Innovation Centre.  

Dr Ian Cleland, is Research Director and a Senior Lecturer within the School of Computing at Ulster University, where he leads the research theme of Human Computer Interaction. He received his BSc in Biomedical Engineering in 2009 and a PhD in Computer Science in 2012, both from Ulster University. His research combines wearable, pervasive, and mobile computing with data science and artificial intelligence to produce innovative digital solutions, mainly in the healthcare domain. Areas of particular interest include sensor-based activity recognition and the use of synthetic data to support data driven modelling. He has published his research in over 100 peer reviewed scientific publications in top forums in digital health and health informatics.  

De la contraportada

This book serves as a comprehensive compilation of groundbreaking research endeavors within the realms of ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing. These initiatives are pivotal in enabling both researchers and practitioners to discern recent breakthroughs and emerging frontiers in these fields. Encompassing a wide array of domains, including Ambient Active and Assisted Living (A3L), the Internet of Things (IoT), Sustainable Ambient Intelligence, Distributed Ledger Technologies applied to Smart Environments. Finally, two important contributions as Special Sessions: "Women and Ambient Intelligence" and "Impact by design approach for a sustainable innovation in healthcare: good practices and challenges". All mentioned above acting as a valuable resource for scholars, professionals, and graduate students alike.

The primary aim of this compilation is to empower individuals within the academic and professional community to harness this wealth of knowledge. It equips them to tackle innovative challenges and engineer smart and ubiquitous solutions that will shape the landscape of the next decade. By amalgamating insights from various facets of ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing, this book encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration and fosters a holistic understanding of the field. Thus, it not only highlights the recent strides in these areas but also serves as a roadmap for future exploration and innovation, paving the way for a smarter and more interconnected world.
