“…The story of SH began in the late 1960s when computer amateurs started installing computers at home, and one of the famous home computers at that moment called ECHO-IV was installed by Sutherland for family bookkeeping, inventory taking, as well as house temperature control [9]. When PCs appeared in the mass-market in the late 1970s [10], on-site controlling and automating of home appliances became Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects by hobbyists.…”

The recent boom in the Internet of Things (IoT) will turn Smart Cities and Smart Homes (SH) from hype to reality. SH is the major building block for Smart Cities and have long been a dream for decades, hobbyists in the late 1970s made Home Automation (HA) possible when personal computers started invading home spaces. While SH can share most of the IoT technologies, there are unique characteristics that make SH special. From the result of a recent research survey on SH and IoT technologies, this paper defines the major requirements for building SH. Seven unique requirement recommendations are defined and classified according to the specific quality of the SH building blocks.

Dementia is increasing day-by-day in older adults. Many of them are spending their life joyfully due to smart home technologies. Smart homes contain several smart devices which can support living at home. Automated assessment of smart home residents is a significant aspect of smart home technology. Detecting dementia in older adults in the early stage is the basic need of this time. Existing technologies can detect dementia timely but lacks performance. In this paper, we proposed an automated cognitive health assessment approach using machines and deep learning based on daily life activities. To validate our approach, we use CASAS publicly available daily life activities dataset for experiments where residents perform their routine activities in a smart home. We use four machine learning algorithms: decision tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB), support vector machine (SVM), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). Furthermore, we use deep neural network (DNN) for healthy and dementia classification. Experiments reveal the 96 % accuracy using the MLP classifier. This study suggests using machine learning classifiers for better dementia detection, specifically for the dataset which contains real-world data.
