AmI provides basic criteria to develop intelligent environments where electronic devices can
be so tiny, virtually invisible to us, to disappear into the fabric of our lives. In a near future,
we could imagine AmI technology assisting the user by autonomously interpreting their
intentions. An AmI system can be implemented customized to the needs of the user. The
basic idea is of a distributed layered architecture enabling ubiquitous communication and an
advanced human–machine communication protocol.
