Intelligent Environments (IEs) aim at empowering users by enriching their experience, raising their awareness and enhancing their management of such environments. IEs refer to the physical spaces where ICT and pervasive technologies are used to achieve specific objectives for the user and/or the environment. IEs’ growing community, from academia to practitioners, is working on the materialization of IEs driven by the latest technological developments and innovative ideas.
The 15th International Conference on Intelligent Environments focuses on the development of advanced intelligent environments, as well as newly emerging and rapidly evolving topics. In the present edition, we are pleased to include the proceedings of the following workshops, which emphasize multi-disciplinary and transversal aspects of IEs, as well as cutting-edge topics:

Well-known experts in the IEs field gave a number of advanced tutorials to introduce IEs to PhD students, early-career researchers and people developing an interest in the subject. The following list of tutorials, which were organized in conjunction with the IE’19 conference, provided a venue for different IEs stakeholders to engage in discussions that will strengthen future collaboration and engage in further research in IEs’ key areas:
-

The proceedings contain a series of contributions reflecting the latest research developments in IEs and related areas, focusing on stretching the borders of the current state of the art and contributing to an ever increasing establishment of IEs in the real world. We would like to thank all the contributing authors, as well as the members of the Organizing Committees and Program Committees of the workshops for their highly valuable work, which contributed to the success of the Intelligent Environments 2019 Event.
The Workshops and Tutorial Chairs would like to take the opportunity to thank Professor Mounir Ghogho and Professor Sofie Pollin, the general chairs of IE’19, and Professor Francisco Javier Falcone and Professor Subhas Mukhopadhyay, the program chairs of IE’19, for their trust in our work, and all the other members of the IE’19 organization for the confidence they placed on us. We are also grateful to the local staff who worked thoroughly for the success of this event. Thank you for your esteemed help, without which this event would not have been possible.
