A Flexible, Plugin-Based Smarthome Simulation Framework with Application to Navigational Intention Prediction

The need for intelligent environments (“Smarthomes”) to monitor and assist elderly individuals is on the rise and is projected to continue into the future. To assist in the development of autonomous Smarthome algorithms, a robust, flexible and extendable simulation environment is required. In this paper we present our approach to fulfilling this need through the development of a plugin-based simulation architecture, and include three different artificial intelligence based approaches towards the problem of predicting and modeling user intentions within a Smarthome environment.
