Ambient Intelligence Through Agile Agents

The vision of ambient intelligence is one where the populas is supported in the conductance of their everyday lives through the pro-active, opportunistic support of non-intrusive computing devices offering intuitive interaction modalities. This chapter advocates the adoption of mobile intentional agents as a key enabler in the delivery of ambient intelligence. Ambient computing, as an ideal, demands levels of functional attainment that have hithertofar not been realized. Ambient applications demand that the computing application be subsumed into the everyday context in an unobtrusive manner with interaction modalities which are natural, simple and appropriate to both the individual user and their associated context.
