“…The Anchor Trust/BT Telecare project is identified as a second-generation telecare system, collecting data on the resident of the home to build up a "normal" profile of the older person/resident's daily activity patterns, for example, when the resident would go to bed, use the refrigerator, or any unusual fluctuations in the house temperature (see also [13] for a similar system). Wide deviations from this profile would trigger an alarm alert resulting in a very simple, automated telephone message to the resident, in which they would be made aware of the nature of the alert, and cancel it or request help from a carer (with no reply to this also triggering an alert to the carer).…”

Abstract-We document the rationale and design of a multimodal interface to a pervasive/ubiquitous computing system that supports independent living by older people in their own homes. The Millennium Home system involves fitting a resident's home with sensors-these sensors can be used to trigger sequences of interaction with the resident to warn them about dangerous events, or to check if they need external help. We draw lessons from the design process and conclude the paper with implications for the design of multimodal interfaces to ubiquitous systems developed for the elderly and in healthcare, as well as for more general ubiquitous computing applications.

“…To reduce energy consumption, sensors operate in a silent monitoring state and are ''programmed" to notify about events. The event-driven model of sensor networks supports many applications, such as flood detection, 21 telemonitoring of human health status, 22 vehicle anti-theft 23 and target tracking. 24 Among these applications, those that involve mobile events are more challenging than that for static events, since mobile events need to be tracked in a continuous manner.…”

Introducing cooperation into a wireless sensor network (WSN) has gained much attention in the recent few years mainly because of the significant effect it has on optimizing energy consumption and on enhancing the lifetime and the overall performance of the network. Cooperation can be exploited at different levels, ranging from a collection of nodes collaborating to forward the data they gathered from the environment towards the base station through efficient data aggregation and clustering techniques, to nodes collaborating to report events occurrences, track targets or control the topology. Motivated by a large variety of attractive wireless sensor applications, such as environmental monitoring, smart environments and healthcare applications, we survey mechanisms that take advantage of cooperation among sensor nodes in the network for the purpose of delivering information reliably and efficiently to nodes of the network that are interested in receiving it. We provide detailed overviews and highlight the importance of cooperation from different perspectives.

Abstract. The objective of AAL and home care is a better care for frail individuals (elderly chronic and disabled patients) in a home care setting. To improve this kind of care means to allow the citizens to stay at home as long as possible, delaying the institutionalization of people, possibly avoiding it for a high percentage of them. Recent development in ICT shows that it is almost impossible to design and implement an AAL system as fixed to certain hardware, operating system, and infrastructure. Thus it is necessary to develop such architectures that will be easily extensible and modifiable. We will discuss such approaches in the paper.
