Cognitive Modeling and Support for Ambient Assistance

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 137))

Abstract

The aim of the Human Behavior Monitoring and Support (HBMS) project is to learn about the individual skills and behavioral knowledge of a person in order to support that person when needed. It is intended as a contribution to enable elderly people to live autonomously in their domestic environment as long as possible. The basic idea is to build a cognitive model of the behavior of a person while she/he is of sound mind and memory. In case of mental incapacitation this model will be used as a knowledge base for generating support information. The paper outlines the first results of the HBMS project with a focus on the investigative survey and the overall architecture of the chosen approach.
