• Ambient Intelligence for Scientific Discovery /
  CHI 2004 Vienna, Austria (April 25, 2004,
  Vienna) http//www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/60-427/ai
  sd/aisd-program-paper.html
• ambient analytical environment

• ambient living environment
• System-level interaction design for scientific
  discovery has been gaining interest due to
  potential payoff in applications such as
  biomedical discovery, nano-materials and
  telecommunications. With growing data streams and
  the complexity of discovery tasks, we see demand
  for integrating digital media and communications
  (Internet, WiFi, SMS and Multimedia) and the
  opportunity for ambient interfaces using
  interaction methods that are usually taken for
  granted such as perception, insight and analogy.
