Abstract
Typically, intelligent environments include a heterogenous
set of devices and services offering complex functionalities.
To establish a real assistive intelligent environment the
available functionalities, their interdependencies and possible side
effects must be comprehensible for the end-users and for the
diverse set of developers, architects and craftsmen involved in
the development process. In this paper, we present a detailed
small-scale model of an instrumtented two-rooms apartment and
show how the model can be utilized for designing, evaluating and
controlling intelligent environments. Furthermore, we present
an architectural foundation based on Universal Remote Console
technology and discuss how to synchronize the model with the
real environment.
