Ambient Assisted Living. 4. AAL-Kongress 2011: Berlin, Germany, January 25-26, 2011

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)
