In order to cope with the greater numbers of older people, together with increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, governments are looking to new ways to provide care and support to older people and their care providers. A growing trend is where health and social care providers are moving towards the use of assisted living technologies to provide care and assistance in the home. In this article, the research area of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems is examined and the data, information and the higher-level contextual knowledge quality issues in relation to these systems, is discussed. Lack of quality control may result in an AAL system providing assistance and support based upon incorrect data, information and knowledge inputs, and this may have a detrimental effect on the person making use of the system. We propose a model whereby contextual knowledge gained during the AAL system\u2019s reasoning cycle can be fed back to aid in further quality checking at the various architectural layers, and a realistic AAL scenario is provided to support this. Future research should be conducted in these areas, with the requirement of building quality criteria into the design and implementation of AAL systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2378016.2378020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,7]],"date-time":"2012-11-07T16:42:48Z","timestamp":1352306568000},"page":"1-15","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Data and Information Quality Issues in Ambient Assisted Living Systems"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"James","family":"McNaull","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ulster, Newtownabbey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Augusto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ulster, Newtownabbey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maurice","family":"Mulvenna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ulster, Newtownabbey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"McCullagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ulster, Newtownabbey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/MC.2007.153"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-11528-8_15"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","volume-title":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence.
