From the Inside Flap
The importance of creating sophisticated information support to humans is increasing with society's need for supporting elderly population with limited sensing performance. This can be seen as a paradigm for increasing the support to different groups in the population, as well as a service concept to the citizens.

This can also be extended from a personal level into a global view, where a group of people can increase their information level (e.g., earthquake or tsunami warning systems). This book aims to involve human-related (based) and artificial sensing in coherence with human perception capabilities (auditory, taste, smell, vision and touch). Also, the fusion of these sensing information will be discussed. For example, how do we increase our human "fuzzy" decision capability (perception) e.g. the field of culinary art, the atmosphere in the dining room is also affecting the perception of tasting the food.
