Abstract

Personal assistants may help the elderly population to live independently and improve their welfare in ambient assisted living environments. However, although there are current proposals already developed both in academic and commercial domains, these systems are still far from being established on the daily lives of the general population. Argumentation technologies can help to deal with open challenges in this domain. In this chapter, we explore the connection between the related areas of argumentation, recommendation, decision-making and persuasion, and we review related work that can play an important role on the development of the next generation of personal assistants for ambient assisted living.
