Abstract

Smart Home is a hot research area that has gained a lot of attention in recent years. Smart home applications should focus on the inhabitant’s goal or task in diverse situations, rather than the various complex devices and services. One of the important issues for Smart Home design is to perceive the environment and assess occurring situations, thus allowing systems to behave intelligently. This paper proposes a context-dependent task approach to manage the pervasive services, the case based reasoning (CBR) method has been adopted and implemented to recognize tasks, enabling task-oriented system design in smart home environments.
