Autonomous Agents in Ambient Intelligence

Research Chair

After the Internet, which was one of the most profound technological recent revolutions, the next big thing approaching in the IT field is that of Ubiquitous computing, Ambient Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and related trends.

Computing in the 20th century happened in visible computers, each one with its screen, keyboard, and perhaps mouse, working in an information univers with little interaction with the physical world. All of this is about to change, and in some years computers will be embedded in objects, integrated in the very fabric of everyday life.

Billions of sensors, linked to microcomputers, linked between them and to the network, will take the pulse of the physical world, and provide services to users who will interact with this computational fabric almost without noticing it.

This is the Ubiquitous computing vision first proposed by Wieser, in which computers "disappear" from the users, becoming just services, like water and electricity.

But coordination for these new flexible services doesn't come alone, and needs technologies to achieve it. In particular, Intelligent Agent technologies and Multiagent systems are developed as ways of handling the relation of an intelligent entity with its world and with other participants.

In this research chair, we develop innovative technology oriented towards supporting the Ubiquitous computing and Ambient Intelligent paradigms with coordination methods from Intelligent Agents.

The group's logo (see upper-left corner) represents the collaboration between natural and artificial agents.
