Abstract

Human behaviour models play important role in ambient assisted living in cases where the user’s long term intention is inferred from her current actions. However, at present there exist plenty of models that deal with activities form different domains, but no efforts are made to derive a uniform human behaviour modelling (HBM) approach that is suitable for various activity domains. Here we describe the first steps in the definition of such generic modelling approach, which consist of identifying a set of uniform HBM requirements and deriving a set of atomic action constants. We believe that a uniform approach can increase the model functionality, and thus lead to more effective and accurate intention recognition.
