This is a standard award. The focus of this project is on development of a domestic environment that is cognizant of the whereabouts and activities of its occupants and can support them in their everyday life. While the technology is applicable to a range of domestic situations, the emphasis in this work will be on support for aging in place; through collaboration with experts in assistive care and cognitive aging, the PI and his team will design, demonstrate, and evaluate a series of domestic services that aim to maintain the quality of life for an aging population, with the goal of increasing the likelihood of a "stay at home" alternative to assisted living that satisfies the needs of an aging individual and his/her distributed family. In particular, the PI will explore two areas that are key to sustaining quality of life for an independent senior adult: maintaining familial vigilance, and supporting daily routines. The intention is to serve as an active partner, aiding the senior occupant without taking control. This research will lead to advances in three research areas: human-computer interaction; computational perception; and software engineering. To achieve the desired goals, the PI will conduct the research and experimentation in an authentic domestic setting, a novel research facility called the Residential Laboratory recently completed next to the Georgia Tech campus. Together with experts in theoretical and practical aspects of aging, the PI will establish a pattern of research in which informed design of ubiquitous computing technology can be rapidly deployed, evaluated and evolved in an authentic setting. Special attention will be paid throughout to issues relating to privacy and trust implications. The PI will transition the products of this project to researchers and practitioners interested in performing more large-scale observations of the social and economic impact of Aware Home technologies.

这是一个标准的奖项。 该项目的重点是发展一种家庭环境，使其认识到居住者的行踪和活动，并能支持他们的日常生活。 虽然该技术适用于一系列家庭情况，但这项工作的重点将是支持就地养老;通过与辅助护理和认知老化方面的专家合作，PI和他的团队将设计，演示和评估一系列旨在保持老龄人口生活质量的家庭服务，其目的是增加“呆在家里”替代辅助生活的可能性，以满足老年人和他/她的分散家庭的需要。 特别是，PI将探索两个领域，这是维持生活质量的关键，为一个独立的老年人：保持家庭警惕，并支持日常生活。 其目的是作为一个积极的合作伙伴，帮助老年人居住，而不采取控制。 这项研究将导致三个研究领域的进展：人机交互;计算感知;和软件工程。 为了实现预期的目标，PI将在真实的国内环境中进行研究和实验，这是一个名为住宅实验室的新研究设施，最近在格鲁吉亚理工学院校园旁边完成。 PI将与老龄化理论和实践方面的专家一起建立一种研究模式，在这种模式中，无处不在的计算技术的知情设计可以在真实的环境中快速部署，评估和发展。 将特别注意有关隐私和信任影响的问题。 PI将把该项目的产品转移给有兴趣对Aware Home技术的社会和经济影响进行更大规模观察的研究人员和从业人员。
