4. 2. Architecting Smart Home Environments for Healthcare : A Database-Centric Approach

   Author : Wagner Ourique de Morais; Bertil Svensson; Nicholas Wickström; Diego López-de-Ipiña González-de-Artaza; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Smart environments; system architectures; active databases; in-database processing; ambient assisted living;

   Abstract : The development of system architectures and applications for smart homes and ambient assisted living has been the main activity of a number of academic and industrial research projects around the world. Existing system architectures for smart environments usually employ different architectural styles in a multi-layer logical architecture to support the integration and interoperation of heterogeneous hardware and software technologies, which are subsequently used to provide two major functionalities: monitoring and assistance.

6. 4. Supporting human activity performance using argumentation-based technology

   Author : Esteban Guerrero Rosero; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The aim for the research presented in this thesis is to develop theories, methods and technology which can detect, represent and evaluate purposeful human activity based on information, which is inconsistent, incomplete and which includes information about an individual's needs, goals and motives. The purpose is to provide instruments to the fields of assistive technology and ambient assisted living, which have the potentials to advance the treatment of semantic information for the purpose of making decisions and reasoning about complex human activity in daily life.

7. 5. Privacy in the Age of Autonomous Systems

   Author : Md Sakib Nizam Khan; Sonja Buchegger; Simone Fischer-Hübner; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; privacy; autonomous systems; IoT; smart home; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : Autonomous systems have progressed from theory to application especially in the last decade, thanks to the recent technological evolution. The number of autonomous systems in our surroundings is increasing rapidly. Since these systems in most cases handle privacy-sensitive data, the privacy concerns are also increasing at a similar rate. READ MORE
