AmI-08 is the third joint conference that perpetuates two events: The first event was the Conference on Smart Objects (sOc), which had been organized by France Telecom and by the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) both in Grenoble, France in 2001 and 2003. The second event was the European Symposium on Ambient Intelligence (EUSAI), which had been organized by Philips and University of Eindhoven both in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 2003 and 2004. In 2005 the first joined conference of sOc and EUSAI was organized in Grenoble, France under the name sOc-EUSAI'05. The AmI-07 in Darmstadt expanded the scope of the series by including three different types of contributions: research contributions, case studies and lessons-learned contributions and industry and socio-economic contributions.

Preliminary Schedule

The workshops will be held at the Fraunhofer IIS, Erlangen. The sessions take place at CCN CongressCenter NürnbergMesse, Nuremberg.
