These inno- vations are inspired by new technologies leveraging all aspects of ambient and pervasive intelligence with related theories,technologies,methods, applications, and services on ubiquitous, pervasive, AmI, universal, mobile, embedded, wear- able, augmented, invisible, hidden, context-aware, calm, amorphous, sentient, proactive, post PC, everyday, autonomic computing from engineering, business andorganizationalperspectives.Inthe fieldofsmarthomesandhealthtelemat- ics, significantresearchis underway to enable ageing and disabled people to use smart assistive technologies and smart homes to foster independent living and to offer them an enhanced quality of life. A smart home is a vision of the future where computers and computing de- vices will be available naturally and unobtrusively anywhere, anytime, and by different means in our daily living, working, learning, business, and infotain- mentenvironments.Suchavisionopenstremendousopportunitiesfornumerous novelservices/applicationsthat are more immersive,more intelligent, and more interactive in both real and cyber spaces. Initiated in 2003, the International Conference on Smart Homes and Health Telematics (ICOST) has become the premier forum for researchers, scientists, students,professionals,andpractionerstodiscussandexchangeinformationand ideas on the current advances in enabling technologies coupled with evolving care paradigms to allow the development of novel applications and services for improving the quality of life for ageing and disabled people both inside and outside of their homes. Each year ICOST has a specific theme. The theme of ICOST 2003 was “Independent Living for Persons with Disabilities and Elderly People.”The theme for ICOST 2004was “Towardsa Human-Friendly Assistive Environment.”ICOST2005focusedon“FromSmartHomestoSmartCare.”For ICOST2006,itwas“SmartHomesandBeyond”andICOST2007hadthetheme of “Pervasive Computing Perspectives for Quality of Life Enhancement.” Last year the theme of ICOST 2008 was “Gerontechnology: Enhancing the Quality of Life for Rural Elders.” Thisyeartheconferencewasorganizedaroundthemajorthemeof“Ambient Assistive Health andWellness Managementin the Heartofthe City” seeking to addressthelatestapproachesandtechnicalsolutionsintheareaofsmarthomes, health telematics, and emerging enabling technologies with a special emphasis on presenting the latest results in the successes of real deployment of systems and services. VI Preface Wearepleasedtopresent,gatheredintheseproceedings,thepaperspresented in the conference, which were stringently refereed and carefully selected by a Program Committee of 44 internationally renowned researchers together with the help of 12 external expert reviewers. We would like to thank the members of the ProgramCommittee, the external reviewers,and the authors for shaping this conference. Weareverygratefultothescientificcommitteemembersfortheirdedication to improvingthe scientific quality andresearchvalue ofICOST 2009.We would also like to thank the Publicity Chairs, Industry Liaison Chairs, and the Local Organizing Committee for the successful organizationof an internationally rep- utable event. We are very grateful that all these people and others behind the scenes accepted to put their international academic and professionalexperience as well as their reputation of excellence at the service of the success of this in- ternational event. We hope that we succeeded in disseminating new ideas and results that stem from the presentations and discussions.
