This open access book was prepared as a Final Publication of the COST Action IC1303 Algorithms
Architectures and Platforms for Enhanced Living Environments (AAPELE). The concept of Enhanced
Living Environments (ELE) refers to the area of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) that is more
related with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Effective ELE solutions require
appropriate ICT algorithms architectures platforms and systems having in view the advance
of science and technology in this area and the development of new and innovative solutions that
can provide improvements in the quality of life for people in their homes and can reduce the
financial burden on the budgets of the healthcare providers. The aim of this book is to become
a state-of-the-art reference discussing progress made as well as prompting future directions
on theories practices standards and strategies related to the ELE area. The book contains 12
chapters and can serve as a valuable reference for undergraduate students post-graduate
students educators faculty members researchers engineers medical doctors healthcare
organizations insurance companies and research strategists working in this area.
