Information and communication technology is crucial in shaping our future living environments, particularly in enhancing private spaces. It holds the potential to improve comfort and address essential needs, especially for the elderly in an aging society. Ambient assisted living aims to support seniors in their homes through innovative systems characterized by self-integration. This principle, alongside self-organization, self-configuration, and other self-management properties, is vital for managing complex autonomous systems. Future living spaces will thrive on algorithms and systems that ensure secure, transparent communication between technology and residents. Achieving this requires expertise across various computer science disciplines, including embedded systems, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence. To tackle these challenges, the SENSYBLE (Self-Integrating Systems for Better Living Environments) doctoral college was established as a collaborative research initiative between the Computer Science and Mathematics department at Goethe-University and the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences. Funded by the Hessisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst, it aims to enhance living environments through interdisciplinary research. The 2010 Workshop on Self-Integrating Systems for Better Living Environments, held in Wiesbaden, gathered researchers to discuss self-organization, informational self-determination,
