Abstract

Research on intelligent environments, such as smart homes, concerns the mechanisms that intelligently orchestrate the pervasive technical infrastructure in the environment. However, significant challenges are to build, configure, use and maintain these systems. Providing personalized services while preserving the privacy of the occupants is also difficult. As an approach to facilitate research in this area, this paper presents the Halmstad Intelligent Home and a novel approach for multi-occupancy detection utilizing the presented environment. This paper also presents initial results and ongoing work.
