Preface
To promote a healthier lifestyle and to support carers, families and care organizations
the research field of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) for ICT-enabled independent
living by using products and services for better health and functional capability of
older adults has been established. This research field has a huge impact on effecting
requirements for ICT projects and solutions dependent on their lifestyle, physical or
mental health. A wide variety of research projects has just delivered results or is
working on it. The outcome of these projects contribute to achieving the overarching
goal of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP
AHA), which by 2020 aims to increase the number of healthy life years in Europe by
two years.
On the other side there is still a lack of viable business models to be considered
almost unanimously as the greatest market obstacle to a broad implementation of
innovative AAL systems. Thus one of the main objectives is to strengthen the
industrial base in Europe and enhance competitiveness for ICT products and care
services that will assist the users to achieve the autonomy, independence and
dignity appropriate to their needs and conditions. Due to these effects it is now
more than ever essential to bring together all the necessary stakeholders and enable
the very important networking between policy makers, developers, producers,
service providers, end user organisations, designers, health professionals, sociol-
ogists, carers and older adults and other end user groups.
For this reason a conference series has been established as an annual showcase
event for the people involved in this community: the AAL-Kongress (Congress for
Ambient Assisted Living) with its purpose is to exhibit and demonstrate ICT
solutions, promote networking within the community, provoke debate on various
topics and highlight new or emerging developments in the area to inform the AAL
community and discuss the problems and challenges we have to face in the
common years. The first AAL Kongress 2008 had the focus on applications of
intelligent assistive systems within the areas of ‘‘health & homecare’’, ‘‘safety &
privacy’’, ‘‘maintenance & housework’’ und ‘‘social environment’’. At the second
AAL-Kongress more than 520 participants attended. It focused on use cases to
support the manufacturing of products adjusted to the needs of the user. In 2010
the third AAL-Kongress had been organized with close to 600 participants also
with the focus on use cases. In 2011 it advanced to the leading congress for AAL
with 870 participants. In 2012 the focus laid on technologies in a self-determined

life and the number of participants passed over 1000, still addressing economic
challenges and trendsetting applications on innovative technology.
In 2013 the sixth AAL-Kongress is focussing on ‘‘quality of life in times of
changing demography and technology’’. From the large number of contributions
from the call for papers a selection has been made with topics such as: smart
homes, activities of daily living, telemonitoring, AAL platforms, interaction and
robotics. To underline the research priority the research papers have been evalu-
ated more restrictive. 129 papers from 537 authors within 7 countries have been
submitted to the sixth AAL-Kongress. After a solid review process 22 papers were
accepted to be included in these scientific proceedings of the conference. Three
independent reviewers were matched by their expertise area to the topic of each
paper.
In closing I would like to thank the reviewers of the Reviewing Committee, the
organizers of this event and all of the paper presenters and conference participants
who helped to make the AAL-Kongress 2013 a success.
