AAL-Kongress 2011 Berlin, Germany, January 25–26, 2011 BA C Editors Reiner Wichert Fraunhofer-Institut für Graphische Datenverarbeitung IGD Fraunhoferstrasse 5 64283 Darmstadt, Germany E-mail: Preface The concept of “Ambient Assisted Living” (AAL) has become a relevant factor in the research landscape over the last couple of years. A multitude of national and international R&D projects is working on specific challenges and fields of application within the thematic area of AAL. However, the goal of a realization of the AAL vision is impeded by a number of obstacles and problems, for which this conference discusses possible resorts, approaches and recommendations within numerous papers. To confer these new approaches the AAL-Kongress 2011 brings together developers, producers, service providers, carriers and end user organisations working in the field of technologies and applications of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). AAL aims at extending the time older people can live in their preferred home environment by increasing their autonomy and assisting them in carrying out activities of daily living. The aim is to enhance the quality of their lives by the use of ICT products and the provision of remote services including care services that will assist them to achieve the autonomy, independence and dignity appropriate to their needs and conditions. Since this vision is influenced by a lot of different concepts in information processing and combines multi-disciplinary fields in electrical engineering, computer science, industrial design, user interfaces, and cognitive sciences a lot of research is needed in providing new models of technological innovation within a multi- dimensional society. Thus the AAL vision relies on the large-scale integration of electronics into the environment which assist especially elderly people in all living conditions. For this reason in 2008 a new series of events has been established called AAL- Kongress (Congress for Ambient Assisted Living) and has been organized by VDE and BMBF. The focus of this AAL-Kongress 2008 had been on applications of intelligent assistive systems within the areas of “health & homecare”, “safety & privacy”, “maintenance & housework” und “social environment”. More than 520 participants attended the second AAL-Kongress in Berlin in January 2009. It focused on use cases to support the manufacturing of products adjusted to the needs of the user. In 2010 the third AAL-Kongress had been organized with close to 600 participants also with the focus on use cases. In 2011 the AAL-Kongress will be organized the fourth time by BMBF und VDE. Beside economical challenges and trendsetting applications the congress will dedicate especially on innovative technology. To underline the research priority the research papers have been evaluated more restrictivly and have been published for the first time in Springer proceedings.
