This book systematically reviews the progress of Explainable Ambient Intelligence (XAmI) and
introduces its methods tools and applications. Ambient intelligence (AmI) is a vision in
which an environment supports the people inhabiting it in an unobtrusive interconnected
adaptable dynamic embedded and intelligent way. So far artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies have been widely applied in AmI. However some advanced AI methods are not easy to
understand or communicate especially for users with insufficient background knowledge of AI
which undoubtedly limits the practicability of these methods. To address this issue
explainable AI (XAI) has been considered a viable strategy. Although XAI technologies and tools
applied in other fields can also be applied to explain AI technology applications in AmI users
should be the main body in the application of AmI which is slightly different from the
application of AI technologies in other fields.This book containsreal case studies of the
application of XAml and is a valuable resource for students and researchers.
