A human-system interaction framework and algorithm for UbiComp-based smart home

Current smart home is a ubiquitous computing environment consisting of multiple agent-based autonomous spaces, and it brings both advantage and challenge that a service interacting with users can be performed with multiple choices of configuration in space, hardware, software, and quality. And besides being smart in the technology phase, a smart home should also satisfy the ldquohomerdquo feeling when interacting with its inhabitants. In this work, from the perspective of human-computer interaction, we analyze the relationship between services, spaces, and users, and then propose a framework as well as a corresponding algorithm to model their interaction, thus for a smart home to behave both smart and as a home when interacting with its inhabitants.
