Abstract
Smart environments have the ability to record information about the behavior of the people by means of their interactions with the objects within an environment. This kind of environments are providing solutions to address some of the problems associated with the growing size and ageing of the population by means of the recognition of activities, monitoring activities of daily living and adapting the environment. In this contribution, a Web system for managing and monitoring smart environments is introduced as an useful tool to activity recognition. The Web system has the advantages to process the information, accessible services and analytic capabilities. Furthermore, a case study monitored by the proposed Web System is illustrated in order to show its performance, usefulness and effectiveness.
