“…Reflective computing uses psycho-physiological measurements to determine emotional, cognitive and physical user states that are further used to tune the system reaction. It is based on high-level modeling described in the reflective ontology (described elsewhere in detail [9]). The generic framework allows for high-level programming and deployment of a number of reflective applications featuring multiple levels of adaptation and pervasive behavior.…”

“…It is theoretically based on the reflect computing that further relies on biocybernetic loop as a basic processing principle. For system modeling purposes, the reflective ontology has been defined as a comprehensive classification methodology that identifies major concepts, entities and their rules, roles and relations [9]. All that created a theoretical background for design and development of the corresponding REFLECT framework, a middleware for pervasive adaptive applications.…”

“…At this level, high-level commands are given to the system control component, which are further decomposed to the concrete actuator devices. The core logic for the event driven behaviour and supportive reaction of a biocybernetic loop is given in the reflective taxonomies [9] for the concrete situation. For example, safety actions in case of exceptional measurement obtained from the sensors are triggered automatically as they are built in into the system through interrelationship among ontology entities and short term biocybernetic loop response (in case that camera, through posture recognition detects "an accident" -emergency will be alarmed).…”

Reflective assistance is concerned with the construction of flexible 'smart' systems that control the eldercare environment, adapting the functioning to the needs of the individual in real-time. In order to achieve this goal, systems must be capable of monitoring the behaviour of the elderly people and responding to dynamic changes in their performance, physical and psychological situation. This paper describes how reflective approach can be used to design and develop a home environment that offers medicare, rehabilitation exercises and improved comfort of elderly inhabitants

“…The reflective ontology has been specified [Kock et al 2009] for this purpose: to classify the problem space, construct major entities, and describe the relations between structures. For the ontology description the UML (Unified Modeling Language) is used [Kogut 2002] as a widely accepted method for high-level software modeling.…”

Pervasive adaptive systems are concerned with the construction of "smart" technologies capable of adapting to the needs of the individual in real time. In order to achieve this level of specificity, systems must be capable of monitoring the psychological status of the user and responding to these changes in real time and across multiple systems if necessary. This article describes a number of conceptual issues associated with this category of adaptive technology. The biocybernetic loop describes different approaches to monitoring the status of the user from physiological sensors to overt behavior. These data are used to drive real time system adaptation tailored to a specific user in a particular context. The rate at which the technology adapts to the individual user are described over three different phases of usage: awareness (short-term), adjustment (medium-term), and coevolution (long-term). An ontology is then proposed for the development of an adaptive software ar chitecture that embodies this approach and may be extended to encompass several distinct loops working in parallel. The feasibility of the approach is assessed through implemented case studies of their performance and functionality
