Abstract
In this paper I tackle with issues related to the design
of good future smart environments (i.e. ambient
in-telligence, digital life, ubiquitous computing). One
of the biggest questions in the design is that how we can
assure that the designs we are creating will be good in
all aspects and for everyone. How can we ad-just the
human centered design process so that the outcome of the
development is increasing our experi-enced quality of
life? In this regard defining goodness shifts our view to
the ethical analysis of goodness and to the normative
analysis of good smart environments. The presumption is
that the forthcoming smart environments can make this
consideration designing for goodness even harder. This
paper gives preliminary analysis of the concepts good and
quality of life when designing future smart environments.
