Abstract

In this paper scenario-based design approach for development of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is described. Design of any concept is based on communication between different stakeholders. Furthermore design of these concepts should be grounded heavily to the real user needs. Scenarios offer a flexible tool for these purposes and extremely well scenarios seems to be fitting to the early concept definition of AmI solutions. In this paper we describe our experiences of using scenario-based design approach in the MIMOSA project.
