Methodology of Everyday Life Computing and Application to Children Injury Prevention

Scientists and engineers have had little understanding of dynamics and properties of human "everyday life" despite its familiarity. Although in scientific fields such as quantum theory and cosmology, standard models exist to explain and generate most phenomena, nothing yet exists which might represent a standard model of everyday life. Recent development of technologies for sensing physical phenomena in total space using ubiquitous sensors, technologies for sensing worldwide social phenomena using Internet technology, and modeling technologies for constructing a computational system based on the large-scale sensory and text data gained using these sensing technologies implies that everyday life is becoming a new target of computing. This paper discusses a unique methodology for everyday life computing with which we can develop the foundations of computational intelligence by tightly coupling with everyday life. In particular, this paper takes asp the issue of children injury prevention as a real problem to be tackled with computational intelligence technology, presenting a methodology for everyday life computing through describing some attempts at sensing and modeling of everyday life for injury prevention and will also outline some future prospects in this field
