Abstract

The development towards ambient computing will stimulate research in many fields of artificial intelligence, such as activity recognition. To address this challenging issue, we present a formal activity recognition framework based on possibility theory, which is largely different from the majority of all recognition approaches proposed that are usually based on probability theory. To validate this novel alternative, we are developing an ambient agent for the cognitive assistance of an Alzheimer’s patient within a smart home, in order to identify the various ways of supporting him in carrying out his activities of daily living.
