Abstract

The current paper provides an overview on how user modeling, context awareness and content adaptation in Smart Home environments may be handled formally in order to capture the semantics that emerge from a newly introduced user experience: SandS is in fact a complete ecosystem of users within a social network, creating and exchanging content in the form of so-called recipes and developing a collective intelligence which adapts its operation through appropriate feedback provided by the user. The authors will approach SandS from the user's perspective and illustrate how users and their relationships can be modeled through a number of fuzzy stereotypical profiles. Additionally, context modeling in pervasive computing systems and especially in the Smart Home paradigm will be examined through appropriate representation of context cues in the overall interaction. Finally, the authors will investigate how users and system services although using languages of different semantic expressiveness can inter-operate successfully thanks to appropriate knowledge-based expert mappings.
