Preface 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 de- velopment of advanced intelligent environments, as well as newly emerging and rapid- ly 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: • 8th International Workshop on the Reliability of Intelligent Environments (WORIE’19) • 9th International Workshop on Intelligent Environments Supporting Healthcare and Well-being (WISHWell’19) • 5th Symposium on Future Intelligent Educational Environments and Learning (SOFIEE’19) • 3rd International Workshop on Intelligent Systems for Agriculture Production and Environment Protection (ISAPEP’19) • 3rd International Workshop on Legal Issues in Intelligent Environments (LIIE’19) • 1st International Workshop on Intelligent Environments and Buildings (IEB’19) • 3rd International Workshop on Citizen-Centric Smart Cities Services (CCSCS’19) • 4th International Workshop on Smart Sensing Systems (IWSSS’19) Well-known experts in the IEs field gave a number of advanced tutorials to intro- duce 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 dis- cussions that will strengthen future collaboration and engage in further research in IEs’ key areas: • The “Automation of Everything” Era • Wireless Communications with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVS): From Wi-Fi to 5G • Fundamentals of Indoor Location for Smart Environments Applications • Smart Environments ARCHitecture (SEARCH) • Hands-On Process Mining for Smart Environments v
