Context-Aware User Modeling and Semantic Interoperability in Smart Home Environments

User Adaptive and Context-Aware Smart Home Using Pervasive and Semantic Technologies

Ubiquitous Computing is moving the interaction away from the human-computer paradigm and towards the creation of smart environments that users and things, from the IoT perspective, interact with. User modeling and adaptation is consistently present having the human user as a constant but pervasive interaction introduces the need for context incorporation towards context-aware smart environments...

Towards Context-Aware User Guidance in Smart Environments

—Context-aware guidance systems need to observe and react to the user even if she does not always follow the instructions exactly. A human guide can easily adapt to such situations while a computer guide needs a model how to guide the user, has to work with unreliable sensor data to observe the user, and, in the case of multiple active processes, needs to assign the right sensor information to ...

Monitoring user activities in smart home environments

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) enable smart environments to create pervasive and ubiquitous applications, which give context-aware and scalable services to the end users. In this paper, we propose an architecture and design of a web application for a sensor network monitoring. Further, the variation in received signal strength indicator values is used for knowledge extraction. Experiments are ...

Context Modeling and Transformation for Semantic Interoperability

Architecture pattern for context-aware smart environments

The ability of pervasive systems to perceive the context of the surrounding environment and act accordingly proves to be an enormously powerful tool for raising immediate users' satisfaction and helping them to increase their own awareness and act in a more informed way. Therefore, recent years marked many smart environment solutions hitting the market and applying latest pervasive computing re...
