“…The related projects are typically aimed at leveraging technologies to relieve/to alleviate/to mediate the difficulties of older life. Traces of this paradigm emerged for example in [3,33,71,82]. These papers share a common rigorous analysis of the technical properties and functional performance of system architectures.…”

“…For example, Vergados maintained that ''the elderly population can be practically considered as a pool of patients'' [71, p 575] treating ''elderly'' and ''patients'' as synonyms throughout the paper. This vision associates ageing with an increase in costs [33,75] and considers technology as a primary means to reduce the economic impact of the ageing population. For instance, building on the stereotype which attributes memory lapses to stable conditions in older life, Szymkowiak et al [65] suggested the development of several electronic memory aids.…”

“…In some articles, older people are not involved and researchers use information generated by ''surrogates'' such as research colleagues (e.g. [33]), students and mannequins (e.g. [16]), or other people contacted through convenience sampling (e.g [26]) involved older people but also their friends and family members.…”

In this paper, we present a close reading of work in ubicomp of applications for older people. Starting from three lines of enquiry defined in the inaugural issue of this journal, we discuss how ubicomp research has presented the relationship between technologies and older users. We base our reasoning on a review of papers published in Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (1997Computing ( -2014. The lines of enquiry refer to paradigms (functional vs. sociotechnical), users (stereotype and involvement), and contexts (indoor and/or outdoor). These themes address the presentation of SUITCASE project (SUstainable Integrated & Territorial CAre SErvices). This is a two-year research on care services for older citizens within the smart home construct. We develop an initial framework that not only provides a cohesive view of technologies for older people, but also serves as a salient guideline for reflective design which extends beyond the target population. This framework may also address future design projects, funding schemes, and editorial policies.

“…The RFID reader receives the radio waves that emitted from tags within its range. After that, reader sends the information of tags to software platform for further processes (Kim, Jeong, and Park 2013). RFID tags fall into two general categories, active and passive, depending on their source of electrical power (Venkatesh 2014).…”

ABSTRACT:Addressing and geolocation for indoor environments are important fields of research in the recent years. The problem of finding location of objects in indoor spaces is proposed to solve in two ways. The first, is to assign coordinates to objects and second is to divide space into cells and detect the presence or absence of objects in each cell to track them. In this paper the second approach is discussed by using Radio Frequency Identification technology to identify and track high value objects in jewellery retail industry. In Ubiquitous Sensor Networks, the reactivity or proactivity of the environment are important issues. Reactive environments wait for a request to response to it. Instead, in proactive spaces, the environment acts in advance to deal with an expected action. In this research, a geo-sensor network containing RFID readers, tags, and antennas which continuously exchange radio frequency signal streams is proposed to manage and monitor jewellery galleries ubiquitously. The system is also equipped with a GIS representation which provides a more user-friendly system to manage a jewellery gallery.

“…Next paper entitled ''RFID based Indoor Location Tracking to Ensure the Safety of the Elderly in Smart Home Environments'' by Park et al [6] proposes an indoor U-Healthcare system that uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to accurately locate and track the elderly. The proposed system provides real-time monitoring of elderly people's whereabouts.…”

In ubiquitous computing environments, providing appropriate services and information to users at the right place in the right way is challenging for many reasons: different user interests, heterogeneous devices and services, dynamic networks, information overload, or differing privacy levels, for example. Agent technology is a paradigm expected to play an increasing role in complex computing environments, and due to the increasing popularity of social networking services, we expect to see the convergence of agent and social web technologies. The goal of this theme issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions that examine the convergence of agent technologies and social networks for ubiquitous computing.
