AI Magazine 

The titles of the seven symposia were Ambient Intelligence for Health and Cognitive Enhancement, Applied Computational Game Theory, Foundations of Autonomy and Its (Cyber) Threats: From Individuals to Interdependence, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning: Integrating Symbolic and Neural Approaches, Logical Formalizations of Commonsense Reasoning, Socio-Technical Behavior Mining: From Data to Decisions, Structured Data for Humanitarian Technologies: Perfect Fit or Overkill? The highlights of each symposium are presented in this report. Ambient intelligence (intelligence embedded in the environment) is a system and an information technology that can adapt to human activities in the living environment. As characteristics of ambient intelligence, its system or information technology (1) is embedded in the environment; (2) can recognize the situational context of the subject; (3) can be personalized to the subject; (4) can change in response to the subject; and (5) can anticipate desires of the subject. One of the potential applications in ambient intelligence is health care.
