- There is a growing need to re-assess the current approaches available to researchers for storing and managing heterogeneous data generated within a smart home environment. In our current work we have developed the homeML Application; a web based tool to support researchers engaged in the area of smart home research as they perform experiments. Within this paper the homeML Application is presented which includes the fundamental components of the homeML Repository and the homeML Toolkit. Results from a usability study conducted by 10 computer science researchers are presented; the initial results of which have been positive

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- As a direct result of the changes in global demographics, a significant amount of research has been undertaken in the area of home based support and healthcare provision, particularly in the direction of smart home environments. When applied to data generated within a smart home environment, decision support rules have the potential to recognise an inhabitant’s behaviour and provide suitable support and assistance when required. homeRuleML is an XML-based format for the storage and exchange of decision support rules generated within smart home environments. In our current work we have extended upon the concepts of homeRuleML and have subsequently developed an improved format. The evolution of homeRuleML from version 1.0 to version 2.1 has been documented within this paper.

COGKNOW : helping people with mild dementia navigate their day
- 2007
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Dementia is a progressive, chronic disease affecting 5% of all persons above 65 and over 40% of people over 90. The aim of the COGKNOW project is to achieve a breakthrough with research that addresses the needs of those with dementia, particularly those with mild dementia living in the community. This entails cognitive reinforcement in four main areas: helping people to remember, helping to maintain social contact, helping with performing daily life and recreational activities and finally enhance feelings of safety. Based on a sound foundation of needs reported in dementia literature, workshops and individual interviews have been carried out with dementia sufferers and their carers in three European countries. A ranked analysis of information from workshops and interviews, and the state of the art of successful ICT solutions will be the basis for formulating the functionalities of the technical solution and for the development of a cognitive prosthetic device with associated services for people with mild dementia. The research and evaluation will be conducted from human factors, technology, and business perspectives in three phases of one year each. In this paper we discuss the design of the COGKNOW project, the first results of the user needs inquiry workshops and the ICT solutions the COGKNOW project will focus on in the first year.
