In an ambient intelligence world, devices work in concert to support people in carrying out everyday life activities and tasks in a natural way using information and intelligence that is hidden in the network connecting these devices. Ambient intelligence emphasizes people and user experience and ensuring ultimately that the technology disappears into our surroundings until only the user interface remains visible to users. The International Journal of Ambient Computing and Intelligence (IJACI) will specifically focus on the convergence of ubiquitous computing, context, intelligent systems, networking and security. Ubiquitous computing will focus on mobility, location and the development of various ad hoc networking capabilities that exploit numerous low-cost computing devices. Intelligent systems research will focus on learning algorithms and pattern matchers, speech recognition, gesture classification and situation assessment. Context awareness will concentrate on the tracking and positioning of objects' and people's interactions with their environments. Finally, an appreciation of human-centric computer interfaces, intelligent agents, network security, indoor positioning and the social interactions of objects in environments is essential.
Mission & Scope:
The primary objective of the International Journal of Ambient Computing and Intelligence (IJACI) is to provide comprehensive coverage and understanding of cutting-edge research in fields as diverse as distributed computing, network security, human computer interaction, mobile and ubiquitous computing, location positioning systems, and other interdisciplinary areas which all contribute to ambient...

The primary objective of the International Journal of Ambient Computing and Intelligence (IJACI) is to provide comprehensive coverage and understanding of cutting-edge research in fields as diverse as distributed computing, network security, human computer interaction, mobile and ubiquitous computing, location positioning systems, and other interdisciplinary areas which all contribute to ambient intelligence (AmI). The secondary objective of this journal is to broaden the overall body of knowledge regarding how the ambient intelligence paradigm builds upon ubiquitous computing and human-centric computer interaction design and is characterized by systems and technologies that are embedded, context-aware, personalized, adaptive, and anticipatory in the sense that they can anticipate desires without conscious mediation.

- Standard (Non-OA) Publishing: If the author chooses to publish under the Standard (Non-OA) model, the article will be published under a Green OA model and the copyright of
their article will transfer to IGI Global under our Author Warranty and Transfer of Copyright Agreement.
However, through Green OA, IGI Global supports a Fair Use Policy, enabling authors to Post the final
typeset PDF (which includes the title page, table of contents and other front materials, and the copyright
statement) of their chapter or article (NOT THE ENTIRE BOOK OR JOURNAL ISSUE), on the author or
editor's secure personal website and/or their university repository site. See the Fair Use Policy for sharing allowances conducive to Green Open Access.
- Open Access Publishing: If the author choses to publish under OA, the authors receive the
Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licensing arrangement. The copyright for the
work remains solely with the author(s) of the article. Others may distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon
the work, even commercially, without asking prior permission from the publisher or author and so long as
they credit the author for the original creation. All authors are required to sign an author's warranty
stating that the materials are original and unpublished elsewhere. The journal will not publish any
material that has been previously published elsewhere. Learn More
This journal operates under the Hybrid Open Access model,
allowing the author to choose between traditional, subscription-based publishing, or Open Access publishing.
Subscription-Based Publishing/Green Open Access:
Article manuscripts require no Article Processing Charge (APC) and require authors to transfer the copyright of the
manuscript to IGI Global. Manuscripts are published behind a paywall and must be purchased for use. See the
Fair Use Policy
for sharing allowances conducive to Green Open Access.

Reviews and Testimonials
This journal will play a crucial role in the refreshing research arena that is ambient intelligence. This journal will no doubt prove to be the primary outlet for researchers in the field to publicize their work. It is also nice to see it will cover the analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation of ambient computing systems and environments.
