Abstract

Emerging technologies, even if they were not originally designed to be accessible for people having special needs, can often be adapted and integrated into the user's environment (defined as Assistive environment) to increase a dependant person's functioning in today's increasingly technology-mediated world. The objective of this paper is to focus mainly on our research work, which consists on providing a logic-based approach for context reasoning, integrating real daily living tasks, to provide end-users with most suitable accessible services within their environments. To achieve this goal, we have implemented a software architecture based on existing context aware frameworks and toolkits and focused on a reasoning algorithm applied to assistive environment. We provide original context modelling and reasoning taking into account the constraints imposed by the application area in the field of assistive technologies.
