THE FUTURE HOME IS WISE NOT SMART - GERHARD LEI...

This book introduces the concept of the wise home. Whilst smart homes focus on automation
technologies  forcing users to deal with complex and incomprehensible control and programming
procedures  the wise home is different. By going beyond intelligence (or smartness) the wise
home puts technology in the background and supports explicit (enhanced user-experience) as well
as implicit (artificial intelligence) interaction adequate to the end-user¿s needs. The
theoretical basis of the wise home is explored and examples for its application for future
living are presented based on empirical studies and field work carried out by the author.
Principles of HCI and the meaning of the home from differing scientific perspective are
discussed and a research model (based on the concept of user experience (UX)) and iterations is
introduced. This has resulted in field deployment guides being produced through a systematic
development process. The Future Home is Wise  not Smart will be essential reading to home
system developers  designers and researchers  responsible for smart home deployment or Ambient
Assisted Living (AAL) who will get insights on how to follow a novel approach in developing and
adapting smart home systems to their users¿ needs. Students with an interest in software design
for pervasive systems will benefit by receiving information on how to develop and customise
systems for the specific needs of living environments.
