Implementation of Applications in an Ambient Intelligence Environment: A Structured Approach

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8548))

Abstract

Based on the work in the FOOD project, an approach for the design of an intelligent environment and the development of applications to favour independent living is presented. Starting from the definition of activities to be carried out in the different living environments, the approach is based on the formalization of information relevant to describe functionalities, technology and users and the presence of “intelligence” for adapting the functionalities and their interfaces to individual users.
