7. 5. 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.
