A wide range of assistive technologies have been developed to support the elderly population with the goal of promoting independent living. The adoption of these technology based solutions is, however, critical to their overarching success. In our previous research we addressed the significance of modelling user adoption to reminding technologies based on a range of physical, environmental and social...
The development, testing and evaluation of novel approaches to Intelligent Environment data processing require access to datasets which are of high quality, validated and annotated. Access to such datasets is limited due to issues including cost, flexibility, practicality, and a lack of a globally standardized data format. These limitations are detrimental to the progress of research. This paper provides...
Most existing monitoring systems do not provide semantic information for their monitoring data. Thus, monitoring data in the repository can only be understood by the system that has generated the data. Round Robin Database (RRD) is an important effort toward building monitoring data semantics [1]. However, the RRD model has missing semantic information, such as what QoS metric or which system entity...
Geospatial data sharing is an increasingly important subject as large amount of spatial data is produced by a variety of sources, stored in incompatible formats, and accessed by different GIS application. Due to the limitations of the techniques, funds, as well as policies, many scholars have been focusing on the design and implementation of the common interface, which is more and more popularly accepted...
Learning behavioral patterns for activities of daily living in a smart home environment can be challenged by the limited number of training data that may be available. This may be due to the infrequent repetition of routine activities (e.g., once daily), the expense of using observers to label activities, and the intrusion that would be caused by the presence of observers over long time periods. It...
The authenticity of advertised QoS for Web services is of particular relevance during service discovery and selection. Reputation of a service is often used as a measure of its trustworthiness. Currently, reputation is usually computed from the users' feedbacks and represents a snapshot for the interactions in a past time slot. However, in an open environment, reputation is a volatile property, which...
Assistive technology in smart homes for elderly people with Alzheimer's disease is needed to support 'aging in place'. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic learning approach to characterise behavioural patterns for multi-inhabitants in smart homes. Decision support is then provided to monitor and assist patients to complete activities of daily living (ADL). Reasoning is based on the learned profiles...
