Over the last two decades an utmost interest has been shown to Ambient Intelligence (AmI), with most of the related applications focusing on home settings. However, considering the ever-increasing number of ageing people occupied in the workforce, the Ambient-Assisted Working (AAW) is arguably at the beginning of its development. For an effective development and integration of AAW systems, cooperation among and shared knowledge from different stakeholders are required. This work proposes an AmI framework leveraging on Semantic Web technologies to foster employees' wellbeing. The AAW framework makes use of a domain ontology, outcome of the cooperation between different stakeholders (employer, employees and environment) to adjust, modify and correct indoor comfort metrics in workplaces. In this paper, the proposed framework's architecture and its underlying ontology are described, along with a use case scenario that illustrates how collaboratively modelled data can actively support ageing workers.

Abstract
Over the last two decades an utmost interest has been shown to Ambient Intelligence (AmI), with most of the related applications focusing on home settings. However, considering the ever-increasing number of ageing people occupied in the workforce, the Ambient-Assisted Working (AAW) is arguably at the beginning of its development. For an effective development and integration of AAW systems, cooperation among and shared knowledge from different stakeholders are required. This work proposes an AmI framework leveraging on Semantic Web technologies to foster employees' wellbeing. The AAW framework makes use of a domain ontology, outcome of the cooperation between different stakeholders (employer, employees and environment) to adjust, modify and correct indoor comfort metrics in workplaces. In this paper, the proposed framework's architecture and its underlying ontology are described, along with a use case scenario that illustrates how collaboratively modelled data can actively support ageing workers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
