Development of User-centred Intelligent Environments Development Process: at our research group we believe Intelligent Environments should be created with humans and for humans. A substantial part of our effort goes to the creation, evaluation and perfection of methods compatible with this philosophy, which we then transfer to the technical actors in this field.
The following paper explains the idea behind this project and give examples of its application in our innovation activities:
