- | During my PhD, I focused mostly on software architectures to develop smart environments, such as smart homes. Since 2009, I’ve responsible for developing different demonstrators of how home-based ICT can be employed to support active ageing, ageing in place and AAL. This involved the developed of serious games to support Tai-Chi training and a smart bedroom. However, the evolving diversity of people’s needs and preferences, as well as the heterogeneity and dynamicity of homes and involved technologies, lead to a number of technical challenges that hinder the actual adoption of smart homes and AAL systems in real life. In short, smart environments are difficult to build, configure, use and maintain. The main technical challenges are associated integratability, interoperability, extensibility, privacy, security, portability, scalability, dependability and usability. Thus, during the PhD, I’ve looked into different academic and commercial system architectures for smart homes and I observed that database management systems were used exclusively for data storage, and that the reactive and data processing capabilities of such system were not exploited. Thus, I proposed that modern database management systems could serve as a platform for smart homes and the main questions were: | + | During his PhD, he focused mostly on software architectures to develop smart environments, such as smart homes.

- | My current research focus on a concept that I defined as “Intelligent Age-Friendly Homes”. This concept is better described as “Smart homes that attractive to people when they are young and supportive of them as they age, i.e., smart homes systems that evolve to sense, reason and react to individual needs, preferences and behaviors as these change over time.” As might perceive, it includes Joseph f. Coughlin definition of smart homes, Diane Cook definition of AmI and WHO definition of Age-Friendly Environments. I focus on technical questions regarding new sensing and actuation technologies that have the following properties: | + | His current research focus on a concept that he defined as “Intelligent Age-Friendly Homes”.
