ADL recognition plays an important role in tracking functional decline among elderly people who suffer from Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Accurate recognition enables smart environments to support and assist the elderly to lead an independent life for as long as possible. However, the ability to represent the complex structure of an ADL in a flexible manner remains a challenge. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 This paper presents an ADL recognition approach, which uses a hierarchical structure for the representation and modelling of the activities, its associated tasks and their relationships. This study describes an approach in constructing ADLs based on a task-specific and intention-oriented plan representation language called Asbru. The proposed method is particularly flexible and adaptable for caregivers to be able to model daily schedules for Alzheimer\u2019s patients. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 A proof of concept prototype evaluation has been conducted for the validation of the proposed ADL recognition engine, which has comparable recognition results with existing ADL recognition approaches. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The work presented in this paper is novel, as the developed ADL recognition approach takes into account all relationships and dependencies within the modelled ADLs. This is very useful when conducting activity recognition with very limited features.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ijpcc-01-2015-0002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,18]],"date-time":"2015-08-18T10:35:06Z","timestamp":1439894106000},"page":"347-371","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Activities of daily life recognition using process representation modelling to support intention analysis"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Usman","family":"Naeem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rabih","family":"Bashroush","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Anthony","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Awais","family":"Azam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdel Rahman","family":"Tawil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sin Wee","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.L.
