Services and applications in an Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environment

As part of the AAL programme, the FOOD project is developing a smart kitchen and is setting up local and remote ICT applications to support feeding in a secure and comfortable environment. The implementation of an application to help people with diabetes in choosing a correct diet is used as an example of the emerging complexity of ICT applications in an Ambient Intelligence environment. Suggestions for possible future approaches to the development of Ambient Intelligence environments and complex applications are offered. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
