We propose a three-layered context-aware architecture for monitoring activities of daily life in smart home. This architecture provides for the inclusion of functionalities that range from low-level data collection to high-level context knowledge extraction. We have also devised an upper-level ontology to model the context in which the activities take place. This enables having a common activity-related context representation, on which to infer and share knowledge. Furthermore, we have begun to implement a platform that realizes our architecture and ontology, making use of Microsoft’s Lab of Things (LoT) platform, being the preliminary results on this task also described in the paper.

One of the critical situations facing the society across the globe is the problem of elderly homecare services (EHS) due to the aggravation of the society coupled with diseases and limited social resources. This problem has been typically dealt with by manual assistance from caregivers and/or family members. The emerging Ambience Intelligence (AmI) technology suggests itself to be of great potential for EHS applications, owing to its strength in constructing a pervasive computing environment that is sensitive and responsive to the presence of human users. The key challenge of AmI implementation lies in context awareness, namely how to align with the specific decision making scenarios of particular EHS applications. This paper proposes a context-aware information model in a smart home to tackle the EHS problem. Mainly, rough set theory is applied to construct user activity models for recognizing various activities of daily living (ADLs) based on the sensor platform constructed in a smart home environment. Subsequently, issues of case comprehension and homecare services are also discussed. A case study in the smart home environment is presented. Initial findings from the case study suggest the importance of the research problem, as well as the feasibility and potential of the proposed framework.

Today, IoT-related applications play an important role in scientific world development. Context reasoning emphasizes the perception of various contexts by means of collection of IoT data which includes context-aware decision making. Context-aware computing is used to improve the abilities of smart devices and is increased by smart applications. In this paper, context-aware for the internet of things middleware (CAIM) architecture is used for developing a rule-based system using CA-RETE algorithm. The objective of context-aware systems are concentrated on 1) context reasoning methodologies and analyzing how the technologies will involve enhancing the high-level context data, 2) framework of context reasoning system, 3) implementation of CA-RETE algorithm for predicting gestational diabetes mellitus in healthcare applications.

The recent advent of Internet of Things (IoT), has given rise to a plethora of smart verticals- smart homes being one of them. Smart Home is a classic example of IoT, wherein smart appliances connected via home gateways constitute a local home network to assist people in activities of daily life. Smart Home involves IoT-based automation (such as smart lighting, heating, surveillance etc.), remote monitoring and control of smart appliances. Besides automation, human-in-the-loop is a unique characteristic of Smart home to offer personalized services. Understanding the human behavior requires context processing. Thus, enablement of Smart home involves two prominent technologies IoT and context-aware computing. Further, local devices lying in the smart home have the implicit location and situational information, hence fog computing can offer real-time smart home services. In this paper, the authors propose ICON (IoT-based CONtext-aware) framework for context-aware IoT applications such as smart home, further ICON leverages fog-based IoT middleware to perform context-aware processing.

The process used to build an autonomous smart home system based on cyber-physical systems (CPS) principles has recently received increased attention from researchers and developers. However, there are many challenges to be resolved before designing and implementing such a system. In this chapter, the authors present a high-level design approach that simulates a smart home system by implementing three levels of the 5C architecture used in CPS modeling and uses well-known machine learning algorithms to predict future user actions. The simulation demonstrates how users will interact with the smart home system to make more efficient use of resources. The authors also present results from analyzing real-world user data to validate the accuracy of prediction of user actions. This research illustrates the benefits of considering CPS principles when designing a home autonomous system that reliably predicts a user's needs.
