Soft Actuation for Home and Office [PDF]
2013 9th International Conference on Intelligent Environments, 2013 Nowadays, most effort in the area of context-aware systems goes into applications that process sensor data to proactively drive actuators. We share the concerns raised about such fully automated operation. Most notably, due to imperfect context inferences, actuating decisions are often contrary to the user's actual desires.
