Advanced intelligent environments

__Advanced Intelligent Environments__ describes the latest research results in scientific disciplines that relate to the development of intelligent environments, as well as their application to various aspects and domains of everyday life. The book broadcasts the vision of intelligent environments that support human activity; its chapters provide a comprehensive view of state-of the-art research in related key disciplines, such as ubiquitous computing, networking, artificial intelligence, and architecture. The material covers many key topics in the field of intelligent environments including system design and development, prototype deployment and evaluation, architectural design and studies on human factors, and also includes scenarios, visions and roadmaps. The book chapters, which are extended versions of the best papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE07) held at Ulm University (Germany), provide a synthetic perspective on research and developments in these areas. __Advanced Intelligent Environments__ is a useful reference for researchers, academics and engineers in information sciences, architecture, and other disciplines related to the intelligent environments field. cover-large.JPG 1 front-matter.pdf 2 Contents 5 Contributing Authors 9 Introduction 17 References 21 fulltext.pdf 23 Assistive Environments for Successful Aging 23 Introduction 23 Assistive Services in the Gator Tech Smart House 25 Technological Enablers for the Gator Tech Smart House 34 Status of the Gator Tech Smart House 46 Conclusion 46 References 47 fulltext_001.pdf 49 Do Digital Homes Dream of Electric Families? 49 Introduction 49 User Experience Group Overview: Understanding People to Build Better Technology 51 Guiding Principles for Global Research and ProductInvestigation 52 Houses are Hairy: The Need for Experience Design 52 Consumer Experience Architecture in Industry 54 Technology for Humans: A Design Framework 55 Conclusion: How I Learned to Stop Worrying About the Future and Love Science Fiction: A Challenge 60 References 61 fulltext_002.pdf 62 An Architecture that Supports Task-Centered Adaptation 62 Introduction 63 Ambient Ecologies and Activity Spheres 67 System Architecture 69 Using Ontologies to Support Adaptation 74 Realizing Adaptation Over Long Time Intervals with the Help of a Fuzzy Agent 75 Adaptive User Interaction 80 Conclusion 84 References 85 fulltext_003.pdf 88 Multimodal Presentation of Information in a Mobile Context 88 Introduction 88 Related Work and Objectives 89 The KUP Model 91 Software Architecture 96 Algorithms for Choosing and Instantiating a Modality 97 Implementation and Evaluation 106 Conclusion and Perspectives 112 Notes 113 References 113 fulltext_004.pdf 116 Classifier Fusion for Emotion Recognition from Speech 116 Introduction 116 Database Overview 118 Approach 120 Experiments and Results 130 Conclusion 135 Notes 136 References 136 fulltext_005.pdf 139 Understanding Mobile Spatial Interaction in Urban Environments 139 Introduction 139 Approach and Hypothesis 140 Learning from Field Studies 142 Result 146 Discussion 152 Interacting and Learning with Mobile Devices in UrbanEnvironments 155 Conclusion and Future Work 156 References 157 fulltext_006.pdf 159 Genetic Algorithm for Energy-Efficient Treesin Wireless Sensor Networks 159 Introduction 159 Related Work 160 Problem Statement 163 Genetic Algorithm (GA) 163 Simulation 172 Conclusion 191 Notes 192 References 192 fulltext_007.pdf 194 Enhancing Anomaly Detection Using Temporal Pattern Discovery 194 Introduction 194 Temporal Reasoning 196 The MavHome Smart Home 198 TempAl 204 Experimental Findings 209 Conclusion and Future Work 211 References 212 fulltext_008.pdf 214 Fault-Resilient Pervasive Service Composition 214 Introduction 214 A Brief Primer on Pervasive Services 216 Virtual Sensors 218 Efficient Pervasive Service Composition 222 Performance Evaluation 227 Putting It All Together: A Comprehensive Solution for Fault Resiliency 234 Related Work 236 Conclusion 239 References 240 fulltext_009.pdf 243 Intravein -- Parametric Urbanism 243 Introduction 243 Description of Thesis Project 244 Networked Behaviors 245 Informational Experiments 247 Space (in) Formation 253 Distributed Responsive Leisure 259 Conclusion 266 Notes 267 References 267 fulltext_010.pdf 269 The Totality of Space 269 Introduction 269 A Discontinuity 270 The Course of Architectural Thoughtin Banking 272 The Course of Banking Spatial Thought 275 Technology's Effect on Banking Spatial Thought 279 The Contemporary Reality of a Bank's Space 285 Space of a Complex System: The Totality of Space 288 Three Factors in the Formation of the Totality of Space 295 Conclusions -- A Possible Architectural Response 298 Notes 300 References 303 back-matter.pdf 306 Index 306 Front Matter....Pages 1-21 Assistive Environments for Successful Aging....Pages 1-26 Do Digital Homes Dream of Electric Families?
