title = "Affordance-based approach in the design of smart environments",
abstract = "Smart environments are environments in which human live, work, and do things, actively use the possibilities of the environment for different purposes. The value of the smart environment is generated through the system{\textquoteright}s functioning for the achievement of the activity{\textquoteright}s intended goals and expectations. Therefore, only by concentrating on the development of technology it cannot be build smart environments. We are claiming that in order to generate smart environments, in which the environment and the actor are understood as one functioning whole the systems have to support the users{\textquoteright} situation awareness. In this kind of smart environment relevant information is perceived and integrated with the task goals to promote the understanding of the present activities and possible future states of the system. Here the aim is to study how meaning is generated through acting in smart control rooms. Our approach is based on ecological psychology, especially the concept of affordance.",
