Abstract
In Ambient Intelligence paradigm, helping people in their daily routine tasks is a priority that has to be accomplished. People have less availability and the number of devices is growing, so some kind of autonomy must be given to the environment. In this paper we expose a system able to prepare meeting rooms for the execution of several kinds of events. Our proposal is based on an agents’ community that performs in an autonomous way the operations required to setup the meeting room to a specific, including the configuration of software and hardware. The agents are autonomous and fulfilled with capabilities to prevent software and hardware failing. The proposed digital secretary was tested in LAID (Laboratory of Ambient Intelligence for Decision making) present in GECAD and it was able to promote the environment autonomy.
