A Methodology for Content-Centered Design of Ambient Environments

The design of ambient environments does not depend on technical issues exclusively but also on social aspects There are several design specifications for ambient environments as well as development principles for the design of such systems, a design method should address In this paper, we survey design methodologies considering the fulfilling of the design principles and their applicability for ambient environments Because unprecedented, we introduce a methodology for Content-Centered Design of Ambient Environments (CoDesA) and apply this method in parts to an ambient bath environment.
