Abstract

Elder citizens are faced with a large number of problems on their everyday lives. Loss of motor, sensorial and cognitive skills results in a growing difficulty to live and interact in today's society. Ubiquitous computing can help alleviate these problems, by allowing elders to have a normal life despite their shortcomings. Medical monitoring, communication and memory aids are already being developed. However, the large amount of data produced by those devices is of little use if not subject to some kind of analysis. Some Artificial Intelligence areas such as Knowledge Representation, Learning and Automated Planning can be used with success to improve what can be learned from the data. This will open the door for a wide range of applications that will adapt to the needs of each user and greatly improve the quality of life of elders.
