Abstract
CHIL services are intended to anticipate the needs of their users. An important step toward this is to model and understand human behavior. Human activity can be sensed and recognized (as described in Chapter 11). However, a higher-level representation of human actions and human relationships (social context) is necessary to effectively describe human behavior and detect human needs.
