abstract = {The ever-increasing spread of Internet of Things (IoT)-based technologies paired with the diffusion of the edge-based computing boosts the development of pervasive cyber ecosystems having the goal of improving the life quality of people and assisting them in daily activities. In this context, cognitive behaviors are purposely required to make such ecosystems able to adapt to people needs and to envisage their behaviors. Despite the growing interest in cognitive ecosystems, still there is a lack of methodological approaches devoted to supporting the design and implementation of such complex systems. This paper proposes ITEMa, an Iot-based smarT Ecosystem Modeling Approach based on a three-layered architecture offering some well-suited abstractions tailored to the development of IoT-based ecosystems which exhibit cognitive behaviors and are able to exploit computational resources located either at the edge of the network or in the Cloud. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated through a case study concerning the development of a Smart Office devoted to forecast some usual office activities and to properly adapt the office environmental conditions to them.},

abstract = {A smart home is a home environment enriched with sensing, actuation, communication and computation capabilities which permits to adapt it to inhabitants preferences and requirements. Establishing a proper strategy of actuation on the home environment can require complex computational tasks on the sensed data. This is the case of activity recognition, which consists in retrieving high-level knowledge about what occurs in the home environment and about the behaviour of the inhabitants. The inherent complexity of this application domain asks for tools able to properly support the design and implementation phases. This paper proposes a framework for the design and implementation of smart home applications focused on activity recognition in home environments. The framework mainly relies on the Cloud-assisted Agent-based Smart home Environment (CASE) architecture offering basic abstraction entities which easily allow to design and implement Smart Home applications. CASE is a three layered architecture which exploits the distributed multi-agent paradigm and the cloud technology for offering analytics services. Details about how to implement activity recognition onto the CASE architecture are supplied focusing on the low-level technological issues as well as the algorithms and the methodologies useful for the activity recognition. The effectiveness of the framework is shown through a case study consisting of a daily activity recognition of a person in a home environment.},
