Abstract:

Much of the research into intelligent environments has focused on how an environment might sense and respond to the presence and/or actions of a single individual in that environment. MusicFX is a system that responds to the presence of a group of people in a shared environment by using a Group Preference Agent to select music that will best accommodate the musical preferences of that group.
