Towards Activity Theory - Preliminary Report: Ambient Intelligence Applied to Smart Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
The limitations and work processes for how people work and interact are suffering changes due to the very fast development of technologies. The use of computers as daily instruments has a reflective effect on people's activity and attitudes towards work. It is a challenge to take advantage of emergent technologies and also to overcome these technologies such as pervasive and smart places. We have changed the way we work shifting often our physical boundaries and how we operate. In this position paper we describe a simple activity analysis of a teacher's class from a high school, based on activity theory, observations and semi-structured interviews. Specifically, we outline our perspective of ambient intelligence in smart education.

One of the major goals of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments is to interpret human activity sensed by a variety of sensors. In order to develop useful technologies and a subsequent industry around smart environments, we need to proceed in a principled manner. This paper suggests that human activity can be expressed in a language. This is a special language with its own phonemes, its ow...
متن کاملA Multi-Agent System for Dynamic Service Composition in Ambient Intelligence Environments
Pervasive computing environments involve a variety of smart devices, which tend to overcharge humans with complex or irrelevant interaction. Ambient Intelligence pushes forward a vision where technology is integrated into everyday objects with the intent of making users’ interaction with their surrounding environment simpler and more intuitive. In this paper, we expose how Ambient Intelligence ...
