“…As mentioned in Section 3.2, in fact, the general physical condition plays an important role in preventing the occurrence of several pathologies and, thus, must be taken in consideration not only when describing the user but also when designing the Smart Home, which should be built to take care of the users' health and well-being too [40]. CRF expresses the physical tness of a person, specifying his/her ability to carry out a dynamic, moderate-to-high intensity exercise over a prolonged period of time [41].…”

is paper introduces the Smart Home Simulator, one of the main outcomes of the D4All project. is application takes into account the variety of issues involved in the development of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions, such as the peculiarity of each endusers, appliances, and technologies with their deployment and data-sharing issues. e Smart Home Simulator-a mixed reality application able to support the con guration and customization of domestic environments in AAL systems-leverages on integration capabilities of Semantic Web technologies and the possibility to model relevant knowledge (about both the dwellers and the domestic environment) into formal models. It also exploits Virtual Reality technologies as an e cient means to simplify the con guration of customized AAL environments. e application and the underlying framework will be validated through two di erent use cases, each one foreseeing the customized con guration of a domestic environment for speci c segments of users.

“…It is not uncommon to see the use of simple devices in the community setting (pumps to deliver enteral/parenteral nutrition, syringe drivers for medication, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, hoists, and walking frames; Table 1), but it is less common generally to find the use of ventilators, robots, robotic suits, etc. 34 Irrespective of what the terminology is and whether it is agreed on or not, the crucial factor is that the patient and their family/next of kin need to be accepting of and agreeing to use the provided or utilized technology, particularly as each person involved may have different expectations (objectives/ outcomes) and objections regarding the system.…”

“…The three main purposes for the provision of home-care technology are safety, quality, and efficient use of time/resources. [32][33][34][35] Community care and community health care is extremely resource-intensive, and consequently it is essential that all stakeholders are signed up to the model of care, including the recipient of the care and their formal and informal carers (family carers).…”

Abstract:As the global population increases in age and the pressures on hospital resources increase, with a defined budget, the management of people in their own home environment is increasingly being accepted as a viable alternative to hospital admission. Evidence from the US and Australian health care systems has shown that acute care at home for older people is safe and the outcomes are at times better than when older people are admitted. Caring of people at home, particularly older people, puts an increased burden of expectation on the next of kin (family members); however, this burden appears to be offset by the reduction in the inconvenience that admission to hospital brings. In many cases, family members highlight the positives of home-based care, such as the convenience, increased contact, and in the case of people with long-term conditions, return of independence and socialization. However, we know little about the perceptions of family members to the ever-increasing possibilities of medically managing people at home, and future research needs to take this into account and to consider their views, as well as those of the people in receipt of care.

“…In few years back, mobile extensions to Grid systems have been increasingly proposed in order to support ubiquitous access and selection to the Grid and to include mobile devices as additional Grid resources [1,2]. In today's scenario mobile devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, notebook and others, provide a basic building block [3] [4][5] [6].…”

Today the concept of Data Mining services is not alone sufficient. Data mining services play an important role in the field of Communication industry. Data mining is also called knowledge discovery in several database including mobile databases and for heterogeneous environment. In this paper, we discuss and analyze the consumptive behavior based on data mining technology. We discuss and analyze different aspects of data mining techniques and their behavior in mobile devices. We also analyze the better method or rule of data mining services which is more suitable for mobile devices. In this paper, we survey several aspects of open service framework based on grid structure which provides the heterogeneous environment for data mining on mobile computing environments.
