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 16th International Conference on Intelligent Environments focuses on the development of advanced intelligent environments, as well as newly emerging and rapidly evolving topics. The present edition has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and has forced us all to celebrate it virtually. 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:

• 10th International Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting Healthcare and Well-being (WISHWell’20)

• 9th International Workshop on the Reliability of Intelligent Environments (WoRIE 2020)

• 4th International Workshop on Legal Issues in Intelligent Environments (LIIE’20)

• 4th International Workshop on Intelligent Systems for Agriculture Production and Environment Protection (ISAPEP’20)

• 4th International Workshop on Citizen-Centric Smart Cities Services (CCSCS’20)

• 2nd International Workshop on Intelligent Environments and Buildings (IEB’20)

• 1st International Workshop on Research on Smart Grids and Related Applications (SGRA’20)

• 1st International Workshop on Open and Crowdsourced Location Data (ISOCLoD’20)

• 1st International Workshop on Social Media Analysis for Intelligent Environment (SMAIE’20)

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 2020 Event.

We are grateful to our technical sponsors, the IEEE Systems Man & Cybernetics Society, IOS Press and the MDPI journals: Sensors, Electronics and Applied Sciences.
