During the last years a new interdisciplinary field of research is emerging, a field that is bound to change in a radical way the everyday life of people. This research area has been recently named as Ambience Intelligence, although its results were previously known as Smart Rooms or Intelligent Environments. The vision behind this concept is the creation of rooms where humans interact in a natural and non-invasive way with computational services that help them in their everyday tasks, both related with work and with leisure. The foundation of these works may be traced to the concept of ubiquitous computing proposed initially by Weiser in 1991, and involve results from many established areas of research, such as pervasive communications, mutimodal user interfaces, artificial vision and domotics.

UCAmI is an annual forum that will bring together ideas, projects, lessons, etc. This event has been held in Granada, Spain (2005) and Zaragoza, Spain (2007), with a workshop modality in Puertollano, Spain (2006). In 2008, this important event will be held in Salamanca, Spain, organized by the Biomedicine, Intelligent System and Educational Technology Reseach Group (http://bisite.usal.es/) of the University of Salamanca.

This event will be carried out in parallel with other three events (IWPACBB, DCAI and Madrinet)
