Abstract
Technological advancements have taken us closer to the “kitchen of the future” where everyday kitchen activities are seamlessly integrated with smart computing services. While there exist smart kitchen approaches, the explorative nature of the field encourages novel designs. This paper follows the trend by describing the design and development of the Kitchen AS-A-PAL, an infrastructure for facilitating smart kitchen services. Smart objects are the building blocks of Kitchen AS-A-PAL where three types of smart objects namely Containers, Surfaces and Actuators are explored through smart kitchen applications including interactive cookbook, health’n shopping and kaffe, god morgon.
