TY - JOUR U1 - Wissenschaftlicher Artikel A1 - Vélez, Daniel A1 - Seepold, Ralf A1 - Martínez Madrid, Natividad T1 - Development of an expert system to overpass citizens technological barriers on smart home and living JF - Procedia computer science N2 - Adopting new technologies can be overwhelming, even for people with experience in the field. For the general public, learning about new implementations, releases, brands, and enhancements can cause them to lose interest. There is a clear need to create point sources and platforms that provide helpful information about the novel and smart technologies, assisting users, technicians, and providers with products and technologies. The purpose of these platforms is twofold, as they can gather and share information on interests common to manufacturers and vendors. This paper presents the ”Finde-Dein-SmartHome” tool. Developed in association with the Smart Home & Living competence center [5] to help users learn about, understand, and purchase available technologies that meet their home automation needs. This tool aims to lower the usability barrier and guide potential customers to clear their doubts about privacy and pricing. Communities can use the information provided by this tool to identify market trends that could eventually lower costs for providers and incentivize access to innovative home technologies and devices supporting long-term care.
