SUMMARY
The increasing pervasiveness of Internet of Things technology means that our environments are increasingly becoming Ambient Intelligence Systems – “intelligent spaces” in which Smart objects such as environmental sensors are able to adapt to changes in context and to users’ social needs.
The CoPAInS project seeks to solve two problems arising from the proliferation of Ambient Intelligence Systems: the need to preserve users’ privacy and the desirability of cultivating a trusting or “convivial” relationship between humans and devices.

SOLUTIONS
- Utilising Knowledge Representation & Reasoning techniques to develop a formal framework for context representation, privacy and conviviality
- Validating and verifying the privacy and conviviality properties of Ambient Intelligence systems using model-checking techniques
- Simulating and testing use cases from the field of Ambient Assisted Living
- Producing guidelines to assist system designers in the development of privacyaware and convivial “assistive systems”.
