  text: 'Smart home systems contain plenty of features that enhance wellbeing in everyday
    life through artificial intelligence (AI). However, many users feel insecure because
    they do not understand the AI’s functionality and do not feel they are in control
    of it. Combining technical, psychological and philosophical views on AI, we rethink
    smart homes as interactive systems where users can partake in an intelligent agent’s
    learning. Parallel to the goals of explainable AI (XAI), we explored the possibility
    of user involvement in supervised learning of the smart home to have a first approach
    to improve acceptance, support subjective understanding and increase perceived
    control. In this work, we conducted two studies: In an online pre-study, we asked
    participants about their attitude towards teaching AI via a questionnaire. In
    the main study, we performed a Wizard of Oz laboratory experiment with human participants,
    where participants spent time in a prototypical smart home and taught activity
    recognition to the intelligent agent through supervised learning based on the
    user’s behaviour. We found that involvement in the AI’s learning phase enhanced
    the users’ feeling of control, perceived understanding and perceived usefulness
    of AI in general. The participants reported positive attitudes towards training
    a smart home AI and found the process understandable and controllable. We suggest
    that involving the user in the learning phase could lead to better personalisation
    and increased understanding and control by users of intelligent agents for smart
    home automation.'

  text: Currently, middleware for smart home networks with embedded and mobile devices
    are in the focus of several investigations. In this paper, we propose a middleware
    for secure management of device and user profiles by integrating a profile database
    with a generic authentication scheme for an X.509 enabled ticket management in
    the context of the OSGi framework. After the introduction of the individual system
    components and their interaction, we also discuss potential system attacks.

  text: Smart homes provide their users with maximum comfort and convenience. In this
    paper, we present a profile management framework for situation-dependent customization
    in smart home environments, which meet the user preferences with given device
    capabilities. We apply profile processing and evolution methods to customize profiles
    on the fly and to automatically evolve user preferences. Furthermore, we give
    a comprehensive study on profile management technology.
