Smart environments have the potential to enhance the quality of life of people by giving assistance in the activities of daily life. These systems are particularly interesting for impaired and frail people because they can improve their autonomy and reduce the need for caregivers. The development of technologies to improve the building of assistive systems has increased this last decade. However, despite this growing interest toward these technologies, no real adoption tendency has been observed yet. Indeed, impairments and particularities of users are so diverse that implementing solutions that are mandatory for users’ well-being represent one of the major challengees in terms of universal design. The goal of this workshop was to investigate new solutions to scientific problems occurring in various topics related to artificial intelligence applied in the domain of impaired people assistance. The 2016 AAAI workshop brought together academic and industrial researchers from several subfields of AI. One main theme of papers presented at the workshop was activity recognition. In fact, this theme is one major challenge in providing good assistance. Indeed, assistive systems need to get accurate information about monitored people. This can be considered as the first step. Several papers provided models and analysis about performing an efficiency detection from different kinds of data. Reports
