In order to facilitate the interaction, smart products require different types of knowledge: knowledge about the user model, workflows, the domain and the context. In this paper, we point out how these different types of knowledge can enhance the interaction and how they can be gathered.

The system’s interaction capabilities help to deal with the challenges of performing context detection with very limited computing resources. These capabilities and the system as such were in general approved by the users. The

It aims to warn policy-makers, industry, academia, civil society organisations, the media and the public about the threats and vulnerabilities facing our privacy, identity, trust, security and inclusion in the rapidly approaching world of ambient intelligence (AmI). In the near future, every manufactured product our clothes, money, appliances, the paint on our walls, the carpets on our floors, our cars, everything will be embedded with intelligence, networks of tiny sensors and actuators, which some have termed "smart dust". The AmI world is not far off. We already have surveillance systems, biometrics, personal communicators, machine learning and more. AmI will provide personalised services and know more about us on a scale dwarfing anything hitherto available. In the AmI vision, ubiquitous computing, communi...

Stress is the major problem in the modern society and a reason for at least half of lost working ... more Stress is the major problem in the modern society and a reason for at least half of lost working days in European enterprises, but existing stress detectors are not sufficiently convenient for everyday use. One reason is that stress perception and stress manifestation vary a lot between individuals; hence, “one-fits-all-persons” stress detectors usually achieve notably lower accuracies than person-specific methods. The majority of existing approaches to person-specific stress recognition, however, employ fully supervised training, requiring to collect fairly large sets of labelled data from each end user. These sets should contain examples of stresses and normal conditions, and such data collection effort may be tiring for end users. Therefore this work proposes an algorithm to train person-specific stress detectors using only unlabelled data, not necessarily containing examples of stresses. The proposed method, based on Hidden Markov Models with maximum posterior marginal decision rule, was tested using real life data of 28 persons and achieved average stress detection accuracy of 75%, which is similar to the accuracies of state-of-the-art supervised algorithms for real life data.
