Conference background & goals:
------------------------------
CLIHC (Latin American Conference on Human Computer Interaction) aims
to bring together people's diversity, culture, geography, history and
Latin America perspectives from professionals in the area of
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). This event had its origin in Rio de
Janeiro 2003 - Brazil, following editions in Cuernavaca 2005 - Mexico,
Rio de Janeiro 2007 - Brazil, Merida 2009 - Yucatan in Mexico, Porto
de Galinhas 2011 - Brazil.
The Latin American and the International HCI communities are invited
to exchange ideas, methods, approaches and techniques that aim
designing interactive user experiences. In consonance with previous
editions, we believe that in the field of HCI, not only we must come
to a technology that can be used and appreciated by as many people as
possible, but also to promote intercultural exchange and cooperation
between people with different backgrounds and needs.

The Ubiquitous Computing (UC) idea envisioned by Weiser in 1991, has
recently evolved to a more general paradigm known as Ambient
Intelligence (AmI). Ambient Intelligence then represents a new
generation of user-centred computing environments aiming to find new
ways to obtain a better integration of the information technology in
everyday life devices and activities.
AmI environments are integrated by several autonomous computational
devices of modern life ranging from consumer electronics to mobile
phones. Ideally, people in an AmI environment will not notice these
devices, but they will benefit from the services they provide them.
Such devices are aware of the people present in those environments by
reacting to their gestures, actions and context. Recently the interest
in Ambient Intelligence Environments has grown considerably due to new
challenges posed by society, demanding highly innovative services such
as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET), Ambient Assisted Living (AAL),
e-Health, Internet of Things and Home Automation among others.
The main focus of this edition of the UCAmI Conference will be
Ubiquitous Computing & Ambient Intelligence: Context-Awareness and
Context-Driven Interaction.

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) proposes solutions based on Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT) to enhance the quality of life of
elderly people. AAL promotes the provision of infrastructures and
services for the independent or more autonomous living, via the
seamless integration of info-communication technologies within homes
and residences, thus increasing their quality of life and autonomy and
reducing the need for being institutionalized or aiding it when it
happens.
This edition of IWAAL Conference focuses on Ambient Assisted Living
and Active Aging.
