Smart Homes

The book addresses issues towards the design and development of Wireless Sensor Network based Smart Home and fusion of Real-Time Data for Wellness Determination of an elderly person living alone in a Smart Home. The fundamentals of selection of sensor, fusion of sensor data, system design, modelling, characterizations, experimental investigations and analyses have been covered. This book will be extremely useful for the engineers and researchers especially higher undergraduate, postgraduate students as well as practitioners working on the development of Wireless Sensor Networks, Internet of Things and Data Mining.

Recent research on the design and modelling of smart homes Presents a model for a framework integrating temporal and spatial contextual information for determining the wellness of an elderly person in a smart home Describes a novel behaviour-detection process based on the observed sensor data in performing essential daily activities has been designed and developed
