Introduction and Background Recent trends in today’s office environment make it increasingly more difficult for conventional centralized HVAC systems to satisfy the environmental preferences of individual office workers using the standardized approach of providing a single uniform thermal and ventilation environment. Since its original introduction in West Germany during the 1950s, the open pla...

In this paper, the simulation of the environmental conditions in university offices is addressed. Based on the real data collected from the environment, a flexible simulator is developed which accepts different office worker profiles including expected office occupancy and computer usage. The simulator generates sensory signals which represents different activities and occupancy of the office e...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to take a prevalent role in our daily lives. Smart offices that automatically adapt their environment to make life at the office as pleasant as possible, are slowly becoming reality. In this paper we present a user-friendly semantic-based smart office platform that allows, through easy configuration, a personalized and comfortable experience at the office.

The ubiquity of wireless communications, in the home and office environment, introduces information security risks specific to WLANs and handheld devices. It is crucial to continuously monitor their evolution but every threat must be examined in terms of potential impact and likelihood. Only when both conditions are present, it does need to be mitigated. This paper shows how the problem can be ...

This article introduces how speech and non-speech audio can be used in ubiquitous computing office environments. We describe an iterative development of an augmented office environment that helps people in their everyday tasks in office settings. Architectural as well as interaction issues are covered in this paper. We discuss how we have addressed the problems of multimodal data fusion, concur...

This paper presents the process and tangible outcomes of a rapid prototyping activity towards the creation of a demonstrator, showcasing the potential use and effect of Ambient Intelligence technologies in a typical office environment. In this context, the hardware and software components used are described, as well as the interactive behavior of the demonstrator. Additionally, some conclusions...

In this paper, we describe a system which automatically recognizes human actions from video sequences taken of a room. These actions include entering a room, using a computer terminal, opening a cabinet, picking up a phone, etc. Our system recognizes these actions by using prior knowledge about the layout of the room. In our system, action recognition is modeled by a state machine, which consis...
