remote health management, ageing well and independent living. Leading
researchers from academia and industry will cover theoretical and practical
aspects pertinent to pervasive and ubiquitous computing technologies for
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) applications, while special focus will be given
on the role and opportunities of such technologies for dementia management.

Lecture material will be augmented with hands-on practical sessions.
Participants will be provided with electronic versions of all programme
lectures and all necessary tools and environments for the hands-on
