This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Smart Homes and Health Telematics, ICOST 2013, held in Singapore, in June 2013. The 22 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper and 19 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Supportive Technology for Ageing and People with Cognitive Impairment; Activity Recognition and Algorithmic Techniques; Trust, Security and Social Issues; Assistive Robotics and HCI Issues; Supporting Safety and Pervasive Healthcare; Home Energy Usage, Reasoning Framework, Services; Algorithms for Smart Homes; Eldercare – Activity Recognition and Fall Detection; Healthcare and Rehabilitation; Robotics and Assistive Living.

This book consists of a number of chapters addressing different aspects of activity recognition, roughly in three main categories of topics. The first topic will be focused on activity modeling, representation and reasoning using mathematical models, knowledge representation formalisms and AI techniques. The second topic will concentrate on activity recognition methods and algorithms. Apart from traditional methods based on data mining and machine learning, we are particularly interested in novel approaches, such as the ontology-based approach, that facilitate data integration, sharing and automatic/automated processing. In the third topic we intend to cover novel architectures and frameworks for activity recognition, which are scalable and applicable to large scale distributed dynamic environments. In addition, this topic will also include the underpinning technological infrastructure, i.e. tools and APIs, that supports function/capability sharing and reuse, and rapid development and deployment of technological solutions. The fourth category of topic will be dedicated to representative applications of activity recognition in intelligent environments, which address the life cycle of activity recognition and their use for novel functions of the end-user systems with comprehensive implementation, prototyping and evaluation. This will include a wide range of application scenarios, such as smart homes, intelligent conference venues and cars.
