International Symposium on Intelligent Environments 
'Improving the quality of life in a changing world'
Homerton College, Cambridge, UK

5, 6 and 7 April 2006

FINAL PROGRAMME NOW AVAILABLE
http://research.microsoft.com/ero/iep/isie06.aspx#Programme

----------------------------------------------------

OVERVIEW:
We define 'Intelligent Environments' as those that seamlessly incorporate the thoughtful and insightful use of computer technology to improve and enrich everyday life. We want to promote discussions that take a completely fresh view of the interaction between society and technology; rethinking how computer technology should be used in the future to maximise the benefits to individuals and society. We look forward to receiving insightful views on the significant research opportunities and challenges that we face, the effects on society and the way we live our lives, the possibilities, the limitations, what we have achieved so far and what challenges we have failed to address. The format of the event will include refereed papers, posters, demonstrations, workshops and panel discussions.
