Sommario/riassunto

Long description: In August 2013, researchers from Germany, Chile, and China came together in Santiago de Chile to discuss topics like collaborative systems, human computer interaction, context awareness and ubiquitous computing, cultural heritage and virtual museums, energy management systems, and reliable computing and uncertainty. This book presents their contributions to the SADUE 13 workshop on ambient intelligence in metropolitan regions, a cutting-edge topic in computer science today.
