In the future ambient information society, not only can a user obtain information in a flexible manner as in the ubiquitous information society, but also the information systems autonomously provide desired information to the user and control the environmental conditions according to the context of the user, e.g. time, place, occasion, and personal preferences. To realize the ambient information society beyond simply extending conventional IT, new innovative technologies are required to tackle the expected challenges, such as inference of user's desires, recognition of environmental conditions, adaptation of ambient systems, and provisioning of information to users. The new technologies also need to be scalable, adaptive, reliable, and robust. Biologically inspired approaches are promising in building such technologies by opening up an interdisciplinary way of thinking and working.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several research areas including biology and information sciences to foster research and development of novel technologies, architectures and control methods in an ambient information society.
