As life expectancy increases, so does the number of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) initiatives. The Living Usability Lab is a user-centered living laboratory aimed at open-innovation and evaluation of new approaches to AAL applications and services, where the different stakeholders may develop and evaluate innovative services for the elderly in near-real life conditions. These AAL initiatives often traverse several research fields, from embedded devices to multiple data streams analysis. Advanced processing, reasoning, and storage of such data streams poses a complex problem usually solved using local processing and storage resources. This chapter presents an overview of the LUL initiative, its services, and applications, and explores the problem of advanced processing, reasoning, and storage from a cloud computing perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
