  2. 6. Participating in Energy Systems through Everyday Designs – Exploring roles for households in a more sustainable energy future

    Author : Sara Renström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; smart energy; sustainable energy systems; sustainable design; user-centred design; demand-side management; smart home; energy use;

    Abstract : As households we participate in energy systems when, in the course of our everyday energy-reliant activities, we create a demand for energy and when we engage in energy-managing activities such as choosing an energy provider and deciding to support a specific source of energy. In this way, everyday life has an impact on the energy sector, and vice versa. READ MORE

  4. 7. Being private and public at home : an architectural perspective on video mediated communication in smart homes

    Author : Stefan Junestrand; Ulf Keijer; Ullmark Ullmark; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental engineering and architecture; architecture; broadband; design; design theory; digital; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : Video mediated communication (VMC) is a two way real time audio and video communication between remote places. VMC has the potential to be applied favourably to many activities, services and functions in smart homes. READ MORE

  5. 8. Privacy expectations and challenges of smart home ecosystems

    Author : Tomasz Kosinski; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; privacy enhancing technologies; Internet of Things IoT ; privacy;

    Abstract : Technology has long facilitated our lives. Nowadays, we increasingly embrace living in digital spaces. Sometimes we cannot avoid enrolling into them, if only because staying outside makes our lives more complicated. READ MORE

  6. 9. Riemannian Manifold-Based Modeling and Classification Methods for Video Activities with Applications to Assisted Living and Smart Home

    Author : Yixiao Yun; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; assisted living; Riemannian manifold; fall detection; smart homes; activities of daily living ADL ; video tracking; activity classification;

    Abstract : This thesis mainly focuses on visual-information based daily activity classification, anomaly detection, and video tracking through using visual sensors. The main reasons for adopting visual-information based methods are due to: (i) vision plays a major role in recognition/classification of activities which is a fundamental issue in a human-centric system; (ii) visual sensor-based analysis may possibly offer high performance with minimum disturbance to individuals' daily lives.

  7. 10. 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
