TY - JOUR T1 - Assistive technologies for the disabled and for the new generation of senior citizens: The e-Tools architecture JF - AI Communications Y1 - 2003 A1 - Cortés, Ulises A1 - Annicchiarico, Roberta A1 - Vázquez-Salceda, Javier A1 - Urdiales, Cristina A1 - Lola Cañamero A1 - Maite López A1 - Miquel Sànchez-Marrè A1 - Carlo Caltagirone AB - In this paper we present our exploratory ideas about the integration of agent technology with other technologies to build specific e-tools for the disabled and for the new generation of senior citizens. "e-Tools" stands for Embedded Tools, as we aim to embed intelligent assistive devices in homes and other facilities, creating ambient intelligence environments to give support to patients and caregivers. In particular, we aim to explore the benefits of the concept of situated intelligence to build artefacts that will enhance the autonomy of the target user group in their daily life.
