Preface
The European Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI, http://www.ami- conferences.org/) is the prime venue for research on Ambient Intelligence, with an international and interdisciplinary character. It brings together researchers from the fields of science, engineering and design, working towards the vision of Ambient Intelligence. AmI-15 was held in Athens, Greece, November 11-13, 2015 (http://www.ami-conferences.org/2015/) and provided a meeting point for each of these communities, aiming for intensive networking and scientific debate, as well as shaping visions of the future.
This CEUR Volume corresponds to the adjunct proceedings of AmI-15, containing the poster papers as well as the papers presented in the Workshop entitled “Affective Interaction with Avatars”, which was organized by Carsten Stocklöw, Sten Hanke, Maher Ben Moussa, Panayiotis Andreou and Christiana Tsiourti, and held in the scope of the EU-funded Miraculous-Life project (http://www.miraculous-life.eu/).
