IKS Deliverable - D2.1 Report: AMI Case Requirements Specification

Restricted Deliverable - The objective of this deliverable is to provide requirements for the development of interactive knowledge-supported ambient environments. In order to identify these requirements, we have developed and applied a new design methodology that is grounded in Information Systems design science research. Therefore, we first identified business needs for an ambient bath environment together with an industrial partner before we evaluated them empirically with the help of mock-ups. In addition, we adopted a bottom up approach to review existing technical architectures for ambient environments based upon which we are able to provide a preliminary architecture. As a result from both approaches, we suggest business and technical requirements for the development and evaluation of the AMI application, which are the next steps within this project (see Tasks 4.1 and 6.1).
