Requirement analysis abstractions for ami system design
Current trends in the AI’s evolution are going towards enriching environments with intelligence in order to support
humans in their everyday life. AmI systems are plunged in the real world and humans expect to interact with them in a way that is
similar to the one they have with other humans. In this kind of systems, where eliciting requirements involves several documents
and stakeholders (mainly users that will be the first consumers of the system), the requirement analysis phase can be affected
by incomplete, ambiguous and imprecise information. Hence, the need to find a fruitful way for knowledge management and its
representation at design time. In this paper we propose a set of abstractions to be used during the early requirements analysis
of AmI systems development. The result is a simple and at the same time powerful set of concepts and guidelines for providing
environment knowledge representation for AmI systems
