Causal Models for Well-Being

Models in the Design of Context-Aware Well-Being Applications

“…We built our theory by studying literature and interviewing experts. This resulted in the identification of a set of relevant variables and their causal relations, all mapped into a single causal loop diagram, which we call the Dynamic Well-being Domain Model (DWDM) [5]. We realize that the knowledge that we have captured is still very limited.…”

“…We adopt a general context-aware system architecture, such as the one described in [4], and use the decisions mentioned above to instantiate this architecture, resulting in a first system model. The model may comprise several views.…”
