“…The main POSEIDON mobile application was viewed as promising and useful. There was feedback that there were some concerns regarding safety, similar to those reported in [17]. It was decided that additional steps should be addable to a route, instead of just editing the Google given instructions.…”

This paper reports on the lessons learnt during the application of a methodology to develop intelligent environments. One important feature of the methodology is that of being strongly user-centred, and the authors report on how that interaction with users took place and how it continuously shaped our project aspirations and outcomes. The methodology was applied to a project which aimed at helping people with Down's Syndrome and those with similar conditions and needs, to be more included in society. The project was developed by a consortium of commercial, academic, and end user supporting organizations. The paper elaborates on what type of stakeholders engaging activities were considered and how these were distributed along the lifetime of the project and their impact.

Abstract. In a world of increasing dynamism, context-awareness gives promise through the ability to detect changes in the context of devices, environment, and people. Equally, with stream reasoning using languages including C-SPARQL, continuous streams of raw data in RDF can be reasoned over for context-awareness. Writing many context queries and rules this way can however be error prone, and often contains boilerplate. In this paper, we present a context modelling notation designed to support the creation of context-awareness based on stream reasoning systems. In validating our language there is tool support which, amongst other benefits, can generate context queries in C-SPARQL and context aggregation rules for higher level context knowledge processing. An Androidcompatible mobile platform context reasoner was developed which can handle these deployable context rules. This methodology and associated tools has been validated as part of an EU funded project.

We live in the information age, where many tasks are automated and many jobs are performed by machines. There has been a certain amount of fear about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing and its impact on traditional careers, but these developments are good news for people with disabilities. Elderly people who have lost some of their cognitive capabilities, and those who have lifelong intellectual disabilities (ID) can avail of AI to become more independent and enjoy the same conveniences as the rest of society. Of course, this relies on making such systems accessible for this vulnerable group of users. Existing research has considered aids for activities of daily living including wayfinding for helping with commuting for ID service users. This work seeks to produce an assistive technology that supports people with intellectual impairment in the preparations for leaving an indoor space so that they may do so independently with only minimum interventions from the family or the caregiver.
