Chat-bots as the (chat) window to your Smart-Home environment

This topic aims at utilizing a chatbot-type agent to interact with users of a Smart-Home environment. A conversation-based interaction/service design is to be designed to support Smart-Home-related tasks, such as (1) adding and removing IoT-devices to the Smart Home, (2) effective management of access and security policies (ABAC), (3) everyday usage.

Your task is to create a chat-bot interaction/service design with regard to usability-related qualities (simplicity, usable and understandable security features) and meaningful features, and make use of the existing Smart-Home setting of COSY:Lab to develop a chat-bot prototype for this context. A small user trial should then collect feedback and test for conceptual feasibility and usability.

Social Computing meets the Smart Environment: COSY Healthy-Living Bot: Extending the service design

This thesis is about interaction design and prototypical implementation of a chat-bot which supports a healthy lifestyle by incorporating different types of functionality into a holistic service composition. A prototype exists already, and your core job is to further extend the existing service composition by incorporating further APIs and related functionalities. Currently supported are APIs of Google Calendar (supporting scheduling physical activity and healthy eating), Fitbit, as well as APIs of recipe and work-out platforms. What else could be helpful? Be creative!

Social Computing meets the Smart Environment: COSY Healthy-Living Bot: Chat-bot supported finding of meaningful fitness goals

This thesis is about interaction design and prototypical implementation of a chat-bot which supports a healthy lifestyle. A prototype exists already, and your core job is to further develop the chat-bot personality and interaction design to incorporate S.M.A.R.T. goal setting (1) in order to support the user with finding meaningful fitness goals. To achieve this, you can make full use of the existing prototype feature-set (already integrated APIs: Google Calendar, Fitbit, Recipe API, Work-Out API) and extend it if necessary.
