Abstract
In this article we address the problem of realizing a service-providing reasoning infrastructure for pro-active human assistance in intelligent environments. We propose SAM, an architecture which leverages temporal knowledge represented as relations in Allen's interval algebra and constraint-based temporal planning techniques. SAM provides two key capabilities for contextualized service provision: human activity recognition and planning for controlling pervasive actuation devices. While drawing inspiration from several state-of-the-art approaches, SAM provides a unique feature which has thus far not been addressed in the literature, namely the seamless integration of these two key capabilities. It does so by leveraging a constraint-based reasoning paradigm whereby both requirements for recognition and for planning/execution are represented as constraints and reasoned upon continuously. This work is partially supported by NovaMedTech project “Angen” (EU regional funds) and by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation (KK Stiftelsen).
