Paper Abstract:	ACOUSMA is a platform based on micro-services architecture developed to allow effortless enhancement of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) environments with personalized auditory displays. ACOUSMA consists of two system packages designed for interaction with three groups of users: auditory display experts, AmI application developers and AmI environment inhabitants. Auditory display experts can generate, upload and share their designed auditory representations using an intuitive Content Management System (CMS). AmI application developers with no prior knowledge on the field can integrate personalized auditory displays in any AmI environment with minimum effort using a simple application programming interface. An intelligent module was developed to adapt and grow to user preferences in real time, enabling conversion of semantic information into meaningful, user-tailored auditory displays. Finally, AmI environment inhabitants experience auditory displays that occur in the right place at the right time and are adjustable to their preferences. Usability evaluation from both experts and final users has shown that the target user groups can benefit from using ACOUSMA as a platform to store and share auditory representations, as well as to provide personalized, meaningful and context-sensitive auditory displays. Moreover, users could successfully and efficiently communicate their needs and adjust auditory displays using the intelligent module.
