Abstract

In this paper, we present the UbiSMART (Ubiquitous Service MAnagement and Reasoning archiTecture) framework that aims to provide a highly flexible context-aware service interaction mechanism. Pervasive computing enables assistive environments with extensive possibilities, especially when seizing opportunities to enhance quality of life for ageing people with dementia. However, we have to design novel interfaces to aid the engagement of targeted users towards the provided services. A natural, seamless interactive experience must be created. Our focus lies mainly on the reasoning mechanisms performing user interface plasticity, i.e. context-aware adaptation of the interaction to create a seamless user experience.
