research topics in home management

Based on the above 18 research objectives, we present five eminent research trends ("Focus on interaction design", "Focus on user behaviors", "Focus on smart devices", "Data, privacy and security", "Design exploration") found in the 55 articles, demonstrating the distribution and correlation of research hotspots in the field of smart home research. We can infer the characteristics of different research trends by following the distribution of coding tags for the various literature reviews. In order to ensure every paper can be uniquely identified by only one research trend, we created specific explanations for trends to make them clear and distinct from each other.

As the analysis moved forward, we found that the five trends might be interconnected. Therefore, we decided to conduct further data analysis to examine the relationships between research trends rather than specific clusters, thereby obtaining the relationship between research trends and literature coding tags.

4.2.3 Construction and Analysis of Literature Feature Matrix. To identify the relationships and interdependencies as well search for evidence supporting the aforementioned hypothesis, we carried out the following steps:

(1) The 18 research objectives (listed in Table   2 ), the targeted user groups, the types of associated researchers and the research methods (to be presented in Section 4.2) were utilized as literature coding labels to comprehensively describe the characteristics of each paper; one-hot encoding was then conducted on all labels to form a feature matrix that contained 31 dimensional article features: namely, 18 research objectives, 6 targeted user groups, 4 associated and 3 adopted research methods.

The final dimension of the feature matrix M (see A2 ) consisted of 32 columns (representing the 31 dimensional article features and an additional trend type feature, used to identify the trend to which each piece of literature belongs) 55 rows (representing the selected articles). A i, k was a binary value indicating whether feature k appeared in paper i or not. S i denoted a value between one to five and indicated the type of trend in paper i . Next, matrix M would be used as input for data analysis.

(2) One of the well-known techniques for identifying and visualizing interdependence in multivariate data is principal component analysis (PCA), which is a good fit for our goal of analyzing the interdependence between trends in the coded data [ 7 ]. PCA took all features A i, k in matrix M as the original variables, and performed zero averaging (i.e., A i, k subtracting the mean value of A i ) on each row of the original variables to obtain a new matrix V with 31 columns (here only article features were used) and 55 rows. Then we determined the covariance matrix of V , calculated as the eigenvalue and eigenvector of the covariance matrix, and used the first two rows with the largest eigenvalue, meaning that the original data was reduced to two dimensions. Here, it should be noted that, following Alavi et al's approach [ 12 ], PCA is not performed on the research trends but on the 31-dimensional article features. The latter are reduced to lower dimensional representations to facilitate visualization; the former serve as the labels of the articles so that on the plot each article can be colored differently based on its trend. Then, it becomes feasible to visually analyze the distributions of both articles and research trends regarding smart home.

Percentages of variance explained by each of the selected components of PCA are as follows: component0: 0.98639659, component1: 0.00227631. The amount of variance explained by the selected components is high. The sum of all components should be 1, which means that the higher the variance explained by a component, the more this component reflects the distribution of the original data. After dimension reduction, PCA can preserve the original data features and make the data features independent of each other. Additionally, we assigned each trend a different color so that Figure   6 can show how the research trends relate to one another.

Distribution of the 55 selected articles based on feature dimension reduction, with colors representing their corresponding research trends.

4.2.4 Analysis Results.

Distribution regions of the five trends: small dots represent the individual articles, while larger dots represent the centers of each trend region; the arrows represent distribution of the most significant ten research aspects.

There is some degree of overlap in the trends, as displayed by the data distribution of the five trends in the figure   6 . In particular, we observed the following traits in the distribution of trends: "Data, privacy and security" stands out from other trends and is primarily present in the fourth quadrant. In stark contrast to other trends, "Focus on interaction design" is mostly found in the first quadrant. The distribution of "Focus on user behaviors" and "Focus on smart devices" is more dispersed. In addition, "Design exploration" has an intersection with the other four trends.

Further analysis of this distribution according to the research content of the 55 selected articles reveals:

a) "Data, privacy and security" is relatively independent. In contrast to other publications, the majority of the articles under this trend focus solely on issues related to data security, equipment security, and other difficulties.

b) In the interaction design field, "Interaction Design" aimed to enhance user experience. Furthermore, the trend "Focus on interaction design" has numerous interconnected components that are all user-centered.

c) Because "Design exploration" is a rather open trend that involves all design-related topics, it is clear that there are intersections with all types, with the exception of "Data, privacy, and security".

d) "Focus on smart devices" may not aim to address design problems, so it has less overlap with "Design exploration" and "Focus on interaction design".

e) Because users interact with devices through interaction behaviors, "Focus on user behaviors" is closely related to "Focus on interaction design" and "Focus on smart devices."

Each trend has obvious characteristics, thus, we further designated the distribution region of each trend in accordance with the PCA results so that the distribution relationship can become more visible (See in Figure  7 ).

The variance and correlation of all coded labels in the matrix M were also calculated when PCA was performed, and the results are displayed in the figure as vectors. The characteristics’ variance shows its statistical significance. The stronger directionality of the characteristic is indicated by a larger variance, resulting in a longer length for the vector. The arrow directions show how there is a correlation. The correlation between the corresponding characteristic and the cosine value of the angle between the vectors can be determined. The two traits are independent if two vectors make a 90-degree angle, and associated or negatively correlated if the two form an angle of 0 or 180 degrees. According to the calculation results, we drew the most significant 10 characteristics in Figure   7 .

In addition to the ten research aspects shown in Figure   7 that are strongly correlated with different research trends, there are still many research aspects concentrated near the origin that have not been visually presented. While they seem not strongly correlated with any trends; this does not necessarily suggest that they all exhibit weak correlation. We identified research aspects with broad correlations and designated them as "pan-correlated" by rereading the 55 publications and performing manual analysis on them. (See Figure  8 ).

Demonstration of unlabeled research aspects (Hollow triangles represent weak correlations; Solid triangles represent pan-correlations).

We discovered that the following research aspects: User Researcher, Data Sharing, Experienced Users, User Participatory Design, Quantitative, and Promotion of Interactive Experience, appear in the majority of publications; hence, the research aspects are brief and exhibit pan-correlation. Meanwhile, we discovered that numerous research aspects, such as stakeholders, sustainable design, privacy, and physical space security, did not exist in the core text of the 55 articles, but rather in subsequent work or discussions of these papers. Combined with the previous keyword frequency analysis from 2000 to 2022 (Figure  3 ) that indicated the keywords receiving rising interests (such as privacy and sustainable HCI), we speculate that these research aspects (or factors) may play more important roles in future smart home research.

The findings obtained through the PCA method highlight the diversity of research trends and allow each research trend to have its own unique characteristics. However, from the perspective of smart home researchers’ domain expertise, these research trends do not seem to be mutually exclusive and are interdependent with each other. This is a limitation of the PCA method, so in this paper, we do not expect to obtain explicit and mutually exclusive clusters. We applied the normative method to organize and analyze the literature to obtain their characteristics in distribution. The results obtained are statistically accurate but do not accurately reflect the actual distribution characteristics of the literature, so it is also important to use the characteristics of human participation or intervention characteristics to make a reasonable interpretation or correction of the analysis results to facilitate a more accurate description of the characteristics of the distribution of the literature.

5 ANALYSIS OF FIVE TRENDS

5.1 overview of research trends.

Combining the research content, research objectives (such as Table   2 ) and research aspects of 55 papers that are highly correlated with trends (Figure   5 ), we further refined serveral characteristics to highlight and promote each direction (Figure  9 ).

Characteristics of five trends from human-centered perspective.

Given that each research trend is distinct, this paper focuses on smart home research from a human-centered perspective and "Human" is the central theme of our work. Figure  9 shows the relationship between the five research trends and the key theme of "Human".

Design Exploration often starts with addressing the needs and expectations of users to explore the requirements, potential outcomes, tools, or techniques of smart homes and advocate a more sustainable design ecology in the future.

The two trends, "User Behavior" and "Data, Privacy and Security" have strong correlations with aging users and experienced users. In addition to focusing on behavior features, demands, and experience evaluation, related literature on user behavior also undertakes more in-depth study on various user kinds, demonstrating consideration, respect, and adaption for various user personalities, habits, and skills. It conveys the inclusivity that HCI strives for.

Additionally, "Data, Privacy and Security" has the most publications in recent years. We believe that this will continue to be a key focal area in the near future. Not only are there a variety of technical problems to be resolved, but also the concomitant user privacy fear and technological confidence crises are important considerations.

The papers that focus on "Interaction Design" not only emphasize the understanding of user needs and the upgrading of interaction experience, but also pay attention to the design of home device layout and device function. The attitude expressed in these publications is that smart home technology has gradually turned into a daily necessity, and "Interaction Design" can demonstrate more functionality and usefulness. Thus, the third level is where "Interaction Design" is situated in this model.

Work focused on "smart devices" relies on designers to conduct qualitative research to analyze smart devices, including sharing and controlling gadgets as well as novel interactive technologies. As smart devices proliferate, future research will need to figure out ways to lessen the expense and burden of user learning and increase the effectiveness of users’ natural engagement.

In this section, each research trend will be discussed based on the trend characteristics displayed in Figure   9 , the trend-related factors in Figure   5 , the research objectives corresponding to the trends in Table  2 , and representative works extracted from the 55 articles as examples.

5.2 Interaction Design

By comprehending user needs and/or providing new interactive functionalities (functionalism), research concentrating on interaction design tends to promote the interactive smart home experience (experience upgrading) [ 31 , 42 , 44 , 56 , 66 , 74 , 99 , 121 ]. To gather and analyze users’ voice, text, gesture, or physical interaction needs in smart home scenarios, researchers typically conduct semi-structured interviews, quantitative and qualitative user research, situational awareness experiments, and design collaboration experiments; then, targeted solutions are developed. The interactive interface and process design direct the improvement of the interactive experience.

Two representative research works are briefly summarized as follows. Cho et al. used Google Assistant [ 2 ] to investigate whether the differences in modality (voice or text) and device (smartphone or smart home device) would affect users’ perception of Google Assistant, when they tried to retrieve private health information from the voice assistant [ 31 ]. Results show that voice interaction enhanced the Assistant's social presence more than text interaction when acquiring low-sensitivity information, while device differences did not significantly affect users’ attitudes towards the Assistant. Meanwhile, Yang et al. explored how couples/friends in different places can accompany each other remotely through telepresence robots in a smart home to achieve the goal of maintaining a good relationship [ 122 ]. The authors conducted an autobiographical user study, describing how to use telepresence robots that can talk remotely, control actions, and share emotions to enhance the interaction and sense of belonging among multiple users. The two works paid attention to upgrading and refining the interaction experience and increasing the relationship between humans and computers rather than proposing new interaction styles.

5.3 User Behaviour

This research area focuses on user behavior and tends to explore the needs and behaviors of a specific population (such as the elderly and children, reflecting the inclusiveness and humanistic care of design) [ 38 , 67 , 127 , 128 , 129 ], thereby enhancing their home life quality [ 110 ] or security [ 67 , 72 , 127 , 128 ]. To understand various user groups’ demands and behavioral states in smart home situations, researchers frequently perform user tests, structured or semi-structured interviews, participatory design workshops, or smart device data modeling analyses.

The following are two representative research works: Zhan et al. developed a deep learning model based on Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTM) to address the health hazards that the aging population faces at home [ 128 ]. The contextual-temporal data collected by wearable devices predicted the behaviors of elderly users and facilitated health status monitoring. Erel et al. focused on children's bedroom areas in smart homes and conducted studies on 17 children in their bedrooms [ 38 ]. Semi-structured interviews, based on thematic coding, were used to summarize children's various needs for smart bedrooms into emotional and practical topics, so that smart home designers can design children's bedrooms in a targeted manner. The underlying motivation for these two works is to make smart home devices more responsive to different user intents, habits, and abilities.

5.4 Data, Privacy and Security

Studies related to data, privacy and security account for a large proportion of the works in this analysis, and the overall research trend is related to the understanding of device functions and risks [ 24 , 68 , 104 , 113 ] (that can enhance users’ trust in smart home technology) as well as strengthening network security [ 13 , 29 , 48 , 81 , 93 , 94 , 124 ]. Therefore, researchers need to draw on the opinions and insights of experienced users [ 8 , 16 , 49 , 60 , 69 , 79 , 108 , 113 , 115 , 116 , 125 ]; they hence generally conducted semi-structured interviews, user experiments simulating privacy/security scenarios, questionnaire surveys or collaborative design workshops to clarify how users define privacy and security, what the concerns and anxieties are, and what the needs and expectations are related to privacy and security protection. All of these methods can guide designers and engineers to build trustworthy and highly secure smart home systems.

We briefly discuss two examples of this trend. Abdi et al. focused on the privacy norms that smart home personal assistants (SPAs) should follow, and conducted a large-scale (more than 1,700) user questionnaire survey [ 8 ]. They identified how background circumstances and personal aspects affect privacy norms, and summarized the privacy standards that the information flow of SPA must adhere to. Kurza et al. proposed a "guess data" research method, which allowed users to conduct exploratory data analysis on real-time sensor data, and infer the user behaviors and intentions represented by these data together with other living users, so as to study how private information was exposed to others through sensor data and how home monitoring was facilitated based on sensor data [ 68 ]. A full understanding of these mechanisms can lead to more effective prevention of threats in privacy and security.

In addition, early research suggested that computers can be more polite when interacting with users, and that people become more forgiving and understanding when computers apologize after making a mistake [ 95 ]. Besides, gentler communication can lower users’ guard when computers need to access their sensitive data and ask for permissions [ 126 ]. Such observations are closely related to the concept of etiquette-in-technology [ 89 , 101 ] (which is to be elaborated upon in Section 6.3).

5.5 Smart Devices

Designers of smart devices need to qualitatively assess the device's features and their effects on users  [ 19 , 37 , 46 , 90 , 98 , 103 ] to make design recommendations that would lessen users’ learning costs and burdens and enhance the effectiveness of their natural interaction. Researchers generally used semi-structured interviews, design collaboration workshops or user research to evaluate smart devices.

Representative research works included the following: Geeng et al. conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 subjects, explored the problem of intelligent device interaction conflict under multi-users, and found that the user responsible for installing the device in a multi-person household has more dominance in accessing device features and data, and such users tend to ignore the considerations and needs of other users  [ 46 ]. The author specifically provided design suggestions to reduce device interaction conflicts and mitigate device access differences between cohabitants. Sabir et al. paid attention to the possible ambiguity and misunderstanding of voice commands activated by the functions of Amazon Alexa smart home voice assistant, conducted interactive user experiments to evaluate whether users could accurately distinguish Alexa's own functions and third-party developed functions, and evaluated whether it was correct to judge which functions will be automatically activated through the voice interface, and finally studied how to design voice commands to improve the accuracy and effect of user interaction [ 98 ].

5.6 Design Exploration

The research trend of design exploration mainly examines the possibility of future smart home design from human-centered perspective by analyzing current user needs [ 28 , 45 ], identifying emerging user needs [ 58 , 59 ] (sustainable design) and co-designing with users. Compared with the other four research trends, there are fewer works in this area, and most of them are based on observations, collaborative design workshops or semi-structured interviews.

A representative research work is the collaborative design workshop carried out by Garg et al. , involving 18 users to explore how the operations of future smart devices could be adjusted according to the social environment, and how to design a flexible agency to enable the adjustment [ 45 ]. The authors offered design recommendations for these three problems, supporting various smart home technologies and addressing the issue of device usage that conflicted with the preferences/values/behaviors of various users.

6 REFLECTION

In this study, we have summarized 5 smart home trends using mainly a hybrid approach. At the same time, there are still many thought-provoking concepts in the 55 papers that are difficult to collect quantitatively, and these are often found in the limitations and challenges, future work, or discussions. These papers had used ethics[ 37 , 58 , 81 ], speculative design[ 19 , 26 , 48 , 93 ], ethnography[ 72 , 110 ], research through design[ 72 , 81 , 93 ], sustainability[ 58 , 59 , 121 ], design fiction[ 19 , 72 ], design vision[ 59 ] as the tone or core of the research; probes[ 19 , 26 , 48 , 59 ], co-design[ 19 , 42 , 45 , 50 , 69 , 125 ], participatory design[ 67 , 68 ], or in-the-wild studies [ 99 ] as research methods. They also actively referred to more theoretical approaches to explain complex phenomena in smart home research, such as folk theory [ 104 ], domestication theory [ 66 ], and protection motivation theory [ 94 ].

Inspired by the opinions and findings in 55 articles, we attempted to present some reflections from three perspectives: the development of the discipline, the transformation of user identity, and the advocacy of interaction etiquette.

6.1 From Multidisciplinary Integration to Sustainable Innovation

Since the 1980s, research on topics such as smart spaces and smart homes have become increasingly interdisciplinary, with accelerated expansion since the turn of the century. Alavi et al. used words such as "persistence", "proliferation", and "mutation" to describe the research and development of related fields in the past two decades [ 12 ]. As shown in Figure  3 , we counted the keyword changes in smart home literature from 2000-2022. Earlier work in this timespan was mostly based on engineering disciplines, but since 2010, and especially since 2016, design, humanities, psychology, cognitive science and other disciplines have gained traction. Some keywords cannot be categorized into a specific discipline and take interdisciplinary approaches, such as AR, VR, sustainability, UI, health, older adult, children, etc. In addition to the 55 papers selected for this study that represents just a small portion of the overall research on smart homes, a large number of additional related studies are dispersed throughout architecture, design, engineering, humanities, communication and other disciplines. While carrying out diversified research, these works also actively explore capabilities, opportunities, and futures applicable to smart home research.

The advances in smart home research also present a good opportunity for the development and exploration of related disciplines. Not only is the smart home space suitable for ubiquitous computing, embodied interaction, and social computing  [ 36 ], but it can also integrate participatory design and open innovation  [ 23 ], promoting the fusion of interdisciplinary knowledge and architecture  [ 55 ]. As a result of the integration of many disciplines, the field of smart home has drawn a variety of research perspectives, methods and excellent researchers, as well as encouraging the development of new disciplies and methods in the process of ongoing research, forming a sustainable research ecological trend.

On the other hand, smart space research requires long-term observation and data collection from users and living environments, which facilitates the establishment of a sustainable research process that learns user behavior in a dynamically changing environment and constantly provides appropriate feedback to users, thus forming a sustainable design ecology. For instance, Rikke et al. explored the sustainable design of home energy by analyzing the lighting habits of users in smart homes and established a long-term use strategy for future smart home energy [ 59 ]. Maria et al. expanded the smart home scene to the grocery store and developed an interactive application called EcoFriends. This app can seasonally adjust the store's products according to the user's vegetable buying habits and frequency, thereby sustainably optimizing the customer's shopping experience [ 85 ]. From the perspective of a long-term development vision, smart home research will transform from multidisciplinary integration to sustainable innovation. Furthermore, the smart home domain will also play an increasingly important role in future user-centered interaction research.

6.2 From Stakeholders to Co-Creators

In comparison to earlier studies, the reviewed 55 papers involve increasingly diverse user groups and researchers. These individuals are not only stakeholders in smart home research, but some of them also take part in the research and design process, echoing a change in the role of the user throughout HCI research. Apart from participating actively or passively in a study, they further serve as an insider, a member, and a collaborator in sharing achievements [ 42 , 88 , 103 , 123 ]. When the users are recognized as partners, users may feel empowered and enthusiastic about the study, which can lead to better outcomes of smart home research.

New challenges will arise when stakeholders are increasingly involved in the research. For instance, the user study places a lot of importance on trust and authorization: first, researchers need to establish data protection rules to safeguard the participants’ data, which is both the prerequisite for user trust and a sufficient condition to prevent the experiment from spiraling out of control; second, establishing a more transparent and open supervision channel for data research and analysis is also necessary for gaining user trust. Meanwhile, granting users the right to access and utilize data is also crucial. However, as already mentioned, an increasing number of participants joined the study in different capacities, with different backgrounds and cognitive abilities. This sometimes resulted in their inability to reach consensus. The goal is to create a shared language for collaboration while also maintaining the necessary trust and privacy. The changing identities of stakeholders are discussed in great detail in other works. As mentioned above, Fitto et al. invited a group of youth to participate in the design of the voice interface, treating them as research partners  [ 42 ].

Some other researchers have encouraged multi-stakeholder groups to collaborate on smart retail spaces, guided stakeholders to analyze data results, discussed design flaws, and reached design consensus through straightforward data analysis and case introduction  [ 126 ]. This type of work promotes researchers to fully affirm stakeholders’ expertise and match their knowledge, allowing them to quickly understand the research at hand and come to consensus. We advocate changing the role of users in smart home research from stakeholders to co-creators to increase the inclusiveness of design research, rather than lowering the standards of research and recruiting more participants.

6.3 From Functionalism to Etiquette-in-Technology

Etiquette-in-technology, commonly known as Digital etiquette or Netiquette [ 89 , 101 ], is a relatively new concept to HCI. Etiquette-in-technology is not a well-recognized academic term; rather, it refers to a code of conduct that has evolved through time along with Internet technology and culture to regulate network social behavior.

Communicating without misunderstandings on the Internet can be a challenge, mainly because there are no facial expressions or body language in cyberspace to rely on. Therefore, to prevent these misunderstandings and deter unfriendly behavior, many websites regularly have rules that govern respectful and courteous behavior on social media platforms, online chat sites, web forums, and other online engagement sites.

Etiquette-in-technology is often used to restrain human behavior. However, with the increase of HCI, misunderstandings have also appeared in the case of information asymmetry. Some HCI researchers have applied etiquette to gradually anthropomorphic HCI and HRI to design the etiquette response triggered by each function or service [ 63 , 82 , 83 , 118 ]. For example, we often observe computer-progressively-enriched voice feedback, facial appearance (cute face, dog face, etc.), emotional feedback, affecting interaction, interactivity, and so on.

"What are the cues that encourage people to treat a computer (or anything else) as a social actor that warrants and is expected to exhibit human speech?" [ 83 ] - Clifford Nass

In terms of the current literature analysis, we can also see a number of design responses or expectations that elevate etiquette on smart home devices. Anthropomorphism and emotional design are the first and most expressive. Through more individualized and careful offerings, these efforts seek to provide users with flexible and welcoming services. This kind of work typically involves one-on-one interactions. However, as important components in the smart home environment, interactive computers gradually display some social attributes. We can hope that the computer will make wise decisions quickly when dealing with conflicting needs, such as in a multi-member family consisting of parents and children, husband and wife, hosts and guests, but this area is is still emerging. How can the smart device as a bystander intervene more politely to resolve the family "crisis" [ 62 , 105 ]?

In addition, among the most concerned privacy and security topics in smart home, etiquette-in-technology also deserves attention because etiquette can teach the computer to respect the user's decision when obtaining the user's approved private data and etiquette also allows computers to be selective in the release of private information. Advocating etiquette-in-technology can limit potentially impolite behavior in the smart home system, avoiding a variety of risks.

Etiquette-in-technology should also be applied to research that caters to diverse user groups. First of all, it is a beneficial development because research on smart home is constantly expanding to accommodate people from different regions, ethnic groups, ages, genders, and abilities. It also brings about more challenges, as diverse social groupings have quite different standards for social behavior. Since etiquette can be compared to a habit, building a computer-friendly and sustainable etiquette-in-technology machine learning methodology may be more durable.

Future human-computer interactions and even human-invisible services embedded in intelligent environments will be more diverse and etiquette-in-technology will subtly affect more interactions in the future smart home. We not only advocate that computers should show complete etiquette but that people also treat computers with the same respect and tolerance to establish a more harmonious interaction ecology.

6.4 Limitations and Challenges

In this work we have analyzed how the field of smart home research is growing from the human-centered perspective and creating more research opportunities based on the current literature. Most the reviewed papers share similar limitations and challenges.

The first commonality is that, despite an increase in smart home users, there is still a relatively small sample size of users due to the barrier to entry and difficulty of study. As few as 10 people have participated in many papers, suggesting that it is challenging to identify the typical issues with smart homes, and the research findings are not generally applicable. The second drawback is the dearth of user scenarios and generalizable experiences. The majority of papers are experiments and research on a specific smart home feature or service (such as user fall behavior detection, camera-based privacy data protection, voice interaction in the living room scene, etc.). Typically, the experimental conditions are harsh, making it challenging to conduct extensive experiments or expand to other scenarios. Third, most smart home studies are prospective. However, the weaker realistic foundation poses a problem that must be addressed. Many articles focused on conceptual investigations rather than real-world studies or experiments. This will force many consumers of the research to rely on their imagination or logic when providing requirements, regardless of the possibility of providing fake requirements.

A final challenge is the limitation of research methods. We noted earlier that increasingly more qualitative or mixed methods are emerging in smart home research, because it is challenging to discern the users’ genuine intents from quantitative data. However, the disadvantage of qualitative methods is that they suffer from small sample sizes and are difficult to produce results with generalizability, as mentioned in the first point. Some articles pointed out that relying on qualitative methods, that is, allowing users to express their intentions through narration, may cause them to over-rely on self-report data. This can be problematic if researchers unwittingly acquire a biased interpretation.

In terms of our literature review study design, another limitation is that currently the five research trends are defined by mutually exclusive explanations and objectives (see Table  2 ), though Figure   7 displays overlapped regions that imply their interrelationship. Further refinement of trend definitions, together with further investigation of such overlap, can be performed to overcome this shortcoming. Lastly, quantitative methods (AHC and LDA in this study) should be adopted with caution, as researchers need to fully understand the mechanisms before combining them with manual analysis, to avoid the risk of inappropriate usage or misinterpretation of the computational results.

Notably, there are numerous potential and challenges in the field of smart homes research, which is still in a phase of rapid expansion. For the research difficulties that have emerged or may appear in the future, this work makes an effort to propose analysis methods and solutions from literature traceability to support ongoing research in the smart home field. Taken together, we see the potential for research on smart homes from a human-centered perspective. At the same time, we also hope to conduct more design explorations in the future. For instance, building a sustainable database of smart home related work that can be updated and computationally analyzed in real-time. Or developing design probes, methods, participatory design toolkits, etc. suitable for smart home scenarios to incorporate valuable suggestions from future participants. Meanwhile, we hope to see others expand on our categorization and analysis in the future to support the diversity of human life.

7 CONCLUSION

We conducted literature analysis on human-centered design in smart home scenarios, beginning with a visual summary of research keywords from 19,901 articles published between 2000 and 2022. Then, we narrowed the scope down to the past five years and selected 55 related articles from high-impact HCI venues to investigate recent advances in the field. Through systematic reading, literature encoding, feature extraction and induced trends, we transformed the literature into data materials for quantitative analysis.

We statistically analyzed several dimensions of the data in-depth, including research content, topics, target user groups, associated researchers, and research methods. From this, we extracted five research trends: 1) focus on interaction design, 2) focus on user behaviors, 3) focus on smart devices, 4) design exploration, and 5) data, privacy and security. Despite exhibiting distinctive characteristics and independence, these trends can collectively promote the diversified and multidisciplinary research on smart home. Inspired by methods in the disciplines of data science, design research, and user research, the systematic literature analysis pipeline adopted in this study is extendable, and can be utilized by researchers to perform further studies related to smart home research. We concluded this study reflections and future visions on multi- and interdisciplinary development, stakeholder involvement, and the shift of design implications in the field of smart home technologies and beyond.

Management has applications in a wide variety of settings and is not limited to business domains. Management tools, as well as the art and science of management, find applications wherever any effort must be planned, organized, or controlled on a significant scale. This includes applications in government, the cultural arts, sports, the military, medicine, education, scientific research, religion, not-for-profit agencies, and in the wide variety of for-profit pursuits of service and manufacturing. Management takes appropriate advantage of technical developments in all the fields it serves.

The growth of the discipline of management has also led to specialization or compartmentalization of the field. These specialties of management make learning and study easier, but at the same time make broad understanding of management more difficult. It is particularly challenging to the entrepreneur and the small business owner to master the subject areas, yet this group is compelled to excel at all management functions to further their business’s success. Management specialties have grown to such an extent it is difficult for any single manager to fully know what management is all about. So rapid have been the strides in recent years in such subjects as decision making, technology, the behavioral sciences, management information systems, and the like, to say nothing of proliferating legislative and governmental regulations affecting business, that constant study and education is required of all managers just to keep current on the latest trends and techniques. Thus, managers and executives need a comprehensive management online reference source to keep up-to-date. Having the management essays and research papers in one comprehensive site saves valuable research time in locating the information.

In the growing age of specialists, there is a growing lack of generalists. Typically, a business manager spends a large percentage of their career developing a great familiarity and proficiency in a specialized field, such as sales, production, shipping, or accounting. The manager develops a very specialized knowledge in this area but may develop only a peripheral knowledge of advances in other areas of management. Yet as these individuals are promoted from a specialist-type position up the organizational chart to a more administrative or generalist supervisory or leadership position, the person with newly enlarged responsibilities suddenly finds that their horizon must extend beyond the given specialty. It must now include more than just a once-superficial understanding of all aspects of managing, including purchasing, manufacturing, advertising and selling, international management, quantitative techniques, human resources management, public relations, research and development, strategic planning, and management information systems. The need for broader management understanding and comprehension continues to increase as individuals are promoted.

This site has as its goal to bridge this gap in understanding and to offer every executive, executive-aspirant, management consultant, and educator and student of management, both comprehensive and authoritative information on all the theories, concepts, and techniques that directly impact the job of management. This reference source strives to make specialists aware of the other functional areas of the management discipline and to give the top manager or administrator who occupies the general manager position new insights into the work of the specialists whom he or she must manage or draw upon in the successful management of others. In addition, this site proposes to make all practitioners aware of the advances in management science and in the behavioral sciences. These disciplines touch upon all areas of specialization because they concern the pervasive problems of decision-making and interpersonal relations.

Every effort has been made to achieve comprehensiveness in choice and coverage of subject matter. The essays provided frequently go far beyond mere definitions and referrals to other sources. They are in-depth treatments, discussing background, subject areas, current applications, and schools of thought. In addition, information may be provided about the kinds of specialists who use the term in a given organization, the degree of current acceptance, and the possibilities for the future as the subject undergoes further development and refinement. Longer essays frequently provide charts, graphs, or examples to aid in understanding the topic.

Important Notes:

As a management student looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment with existing management theories – i.e., to add value and interest to your research topic.

The management field is vast and interrelated to many other academic disciplines like operations management , business , business administration , MBA , human resource management and more. That is why creating a management dissertation topic that is particular, sound, and actually solves a practical problem that may be rampant in the field is imperative.

We can’t stress how important it is to develop a logical research topic based on your entire research. There are several significant downfalls to getting your topic wrong; your supervisor may not be interested in working on it, the topic has no academic creditability, the research may not make logical sense, there is a possibility that the study is not viable.

This impacts your time and efforts in writing your dissertation , as you may end up in the cycle of rejection at the initial stage of the dissertation. That is why we recommend reviewing existing research to develop a topic, taking advice from your supervisor, and even asking for help in this particular stage of your dissertation.

Keeping our advice in mind while developing a research topic will allow you to pick one of the best management dissertation topics that fulfil your requirement of writing a research paper and adds to the body of knowledge.

Therefore, it is recommended that when finalizing your dissertation topic, you read recently published literature to identify gaps in the research that you may help fill.

7 Home Management Topics You Need To Include In Your Plan

You’ve just bought your first home, and you want it to be nice and tidy – but there are so many home management topics to deal with!

Or perhaps you are just fed up with not knowing what you need to do to make your home and life more organized?

Which home management topics should you include in your home management plan?

Use these seven home management tips to help you create the most effective home management plan possible so you can spend more time enjoying your new place and less time maintaining it.

• Easy to use
• Make your home more organized

1) Developing a Budget

According to the National Association of Home Builders, creating a budget is one of the most important steps for home management.

When you create a budget, you can set out what your goals are for the home and start working towards them.

Affiliate links are included for your convenience. (This means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission which won’t cost you a penny more!) Click here to read my full disclosure and privacy policy.

Plus, developing a budget is easier than ever before with online resources that make it quick and easy. Check out this budget planner if you want to start a paper-based budget.

Developing a budget may take some time but it will save you time in the long run because it will help you save money and stay focused on what’s important to you.

One way to start is by keeping track of how much money you spend each month and breaking it down into categories like housing costs, food costs, transportation costs, insurance costs, entertainment costs, education expenses, savings account contribution rates, and miscellaneous household expenses.

2) Maintaining and Repairing Your Home

Your home is the center of your daily life, so it’s important to keep it in good shape.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the things that need to be done around the house, then it’s time to create a home management plan.

Home maintenance and repair should be on your list of items to cover. When you put maintaining and repairing your home into your plan, you’ll feel more organized and less stressed out in the long run.

So what are some home management tips for caring for your home?

One great idea is to set aside a little bit of money each month for repairs or other projects. A power outage can also lead to water damage if the pipes freeze while they are still running, so make sure you have a water heater shut-off valve installed inside your home.

Consider getting a home maintenance log book so you can keep track of all that you do and what you need to do at home.

It is also important to maintain a routine upkeep plan for the appliances that come into your home such as dishwashers and refrigerators, along with any plumbing issues like leaky faucets or broken toilets.

You might not think about these every day but one of them will eventually fail without proper care and attention.

Maintaining an up-to-date inventory list is another home management tip that will help you prioritize when something needs to be replaced or fixed. There are many types of lists you can use, but they all serve the same purpose: to help organize your thoughts so that nothing slips through the cracks.

Home management plans are essential when it comes to keeping your home in tip-top shape!

3) Keeping Your Home Clean

It’s time to get serious about keeping your home clean and tidy.

Home management is all about being organized, so you need a plan.

I recommend starting with a cleaning schedule , which will ensure that there is time set aside each week for vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and more.

Plus, it’ll be helpful when you’re faced with a houseguest who needs the bathroom right away!

In addition, take into consideration family dynamics—some households might prefer daily chores while others may want to do them weekly.

The key here is flexibility. And don’t forget kitchen tasks like cooking food, making coffee and doing dishes (and if you have kids, those are things they can help with).

When it comes to home management tips, these are just the basics.

4) Organizing Your Home

Organizing your home is a lot easier if you follow these simple home management tips.

Check out the Home Edit’s book, it’s simply amazing.

Wake up with a clear mind and ready for the day feels good and if your home and life are organized then it’s easier to do.

The first thing you should do when coming home from work is unpacking all of your belongings as soon as possible. That way, you can start the evening fresh, without being reminded of what’s waiting for you in your work bag.

Creating a clean space is only possible if things are put away.

One thing that makes home management so difficult is keeping a clean home. When you’re working hard on tasks around the house, take some time to put away anything that’s been out and is not still being used.

It’ll save your sanity and make it easier to get back to what you were doing.

5) Planning Meals

Planning meals is one of the most important aspects of managing your home because it determines what you will be eating on a daily basis.

With so many restaurants and fast food options available, it can be hard to manage what we eat.

This is why planning out your meals for the week ahead is vital. Here are some helpful home management tips when deciding on your weekly menu:

1) Consider how much time you have each day. 2) Be flexible with recipes. 3) Try new dishes or new ways to prepare old ones. 4) If you’re not sure what type of recipe you want, go through your favorite cookbooks or look at Pinterest for inspiration.

Home management is about making life easier for yourself!

6) Laundry and Clothing Care

It is important for children and teenagers to learn how to do laundry and care for clothes.

Make sure you teach them the best way to wash and dry their clothes, as well as the importance of using a stain remover.

In addition, make sure they know that fabric softener is an optional step! The home management tips continue on with making sure your child knows how to use the washer and dryer properly.

They should also be taught how to fold and put away clothing as this is part of keeping their rooms picked up.

Home management topics also include teaching your child about replacing their clothing after it starts looking worn out or damaged.

An easy home management tip for this would be to set up a specific drawer or place in the house where old clothing can go before it’s tossed out.

7) Balancing Work and Life at Home

It’s important to have a home management plan and make time for family, hobbies, and personal interests.

A balanced life is key to feeling energized and happy at home. Below are some tips to help you balance work and life at home:

• Start the day with a healthy breakfast that will fuel your day.
• Keep your work area clear of clutter so you can be more productive.
• Get plenty of sleep and exercise as this will help you stay focused on home projects as well as work projects.
• Don’t forget to spend quality time with friends and loved ones while maintaining a strong relationship with your spouse or significant other.

Other Home Management Topics

On top of your home management plan, you might also include tips for keeping your home clean for every part of the home; advice for organization; how to take care of appliances; ways to improve personal finance; strategies for reducing energy consumption; how to be more environmentally conscious at home; information about home safety including dealing with natural disasters and fires; information about disaster preparedness kits.

Home management tips can provide an overview of how to keep your home safe, clean, and functioning smoothly while saving you money and teaching you new skills.

There are so many different areas involved with home management it’s difficult to label them all in just one article.

It’s important to address home management before it becomes a problem.

It’s best to create a list of Home Management Topics you need to Include in your plan and keep it updated over time so you can be sure your home is running smoothly.

Take the time to assess your situation and make any necessary changes so your home management plan is tailored for you.

There are many home management topics to include in your home management plan, but you need to find the ones that work best for you.

How SolarWinds Responded to the 2020 SUNBURST Cyberattack

In December of 2020, SolarWinds learned that they had fallen victim to hackers. Unknown actors had inserted malware called SUNBURST into a software update, potentially granting hackers access to thousands of its customers’ data, including government agencies across the globe and the US military. General Counsel Jason Bliss needed to orchestrate the company’s response without knowing how many of its 300,000 customers had been affected, or how severely. What’s more, the existing CEO was scheduled to step down and incoming CEO Sudhakar Ramakrishna had yet to come on board. Bliss needed to immediately communicate the company’s action plan with customers and the media. In this episode of Cold Call, Professor Frank Nagle discusses SolarWinds’ response to this supply chain attack in the case, “SolarWinds Confronts SUNBURST.”

About this Research Topic

The world is grappling with severe environmental degradation, making environmental resilience a critical priority. Climate change intensifies this challenge, with rising temperatures, shifting weather patterns, and extreme weather events threatening ecosystems and food security. In the agricultural sector, environmental pollution has worsened recently, contributing to soil degradation, water contamination, and biodiversity loss. Restoring the environment and enhancing agricultural resilience is crucial for sustainable agriculture. Addressing these challenges requires integrating environmental resilience with sustainable practices to create agri-food systems that are economically viable and resilient to climate change. This Research Topic aims to develop economically viable strategies that enhance the resilience of agri-food systems to environmental changes while promoting sustainable resource use and ecological balance. By focusing on effective methods to improve environmental resilience, we seek to create agri-food systems that are both profitable and capable of withstanding the challenges posed by climate change. Ultimately, enhancing environmental resilience is crucial for increasing agricultural sustainability and ensuring a stable food supply in the face of a changing climate. High-quality Original Research and Review articles in this field are all welcome for submission to this Research Topic. Research interests include but are not limited to the following areas: • Enhancing environmental resilience in Agri-food Systems • Policy and innovative mechanisms for resilient and sustainable Agriculture • Ecological restoration and biodiversity conservation in Agri-ecosystems • Policy optimization and innovative mechanism towards a resilient Agri-food System • Climate change mitigation and adaptation in agricultural practices • Sustainable agricultural practices management • Resource management in agricultural practices • Climate risk in Agri-Food production and circulation

Work from Home and Disability Employment

There has been a dramatic rise in disability employment in the US since the pandemic, a pattern mirrored in other countries as well. A similar increase is not found for any other major gender, race, age or education demographic. At the same time, work from home has risen four-fold. This paper asks whether the two are causally related. Analyzing CPS and ACS microdata, we find the increase in disability employment is concentrated in occupations with high levels of working from home. Controlling for compositional changes and labor market tightness, we estimate that a 1 percentage point increase in work from home increases full-time employment by 1.1% for individuals with a physical disability. A back of the envelope calculation reveals that the post pandemic increase in working from home explains 80% of the rise in full-time employment. Wage data suggests that WFH increased the supply of workers with a disability, likely by reducing commuting costs and enabling better control of working conditions.

We have purchased both maple syrup and peanut butter at supermarkets in S.W. Siberia when spending time there with extended family. It really is not important to "get all your shots" when traveling in Russia anymore than when traveling anywhere else; however, you might want to inquire of your personal physician or pediatrician to get advice regarding whether he/she thinks it would be wise for your children. Having spent considerable time living and traveling in Russia I might add that the incidence of prostitution is highly overstated IMHO by the previous poster, and seems a bit crude.

Resource Catalog

Relations between soil biota diversity and its contribution to the performance of some ecosystem functions were assessed based on the results obtained in undisturbed and burned spruce forests near the Central Forest Nature Biosphere Reserve (Tver oblast). In August 2014, in two 4-year-old burned areas, abiotic parameters of the soils, indicators of the state of the microbial communities, the number, taxonomic diversity, and the abundance of the main groups of soil invertebrates (testate amoebae, nematodes, enchytraeids, mites, collembolans, and the mesofauna as a whole) were determined. In the soils of the burned areas, higher CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions were observed. The number of bacterial cells remained similar, and the total length of active mycelium was not significantly different. All this implies a certain intensification of biogenic processes promoting the mobilization of carbon and nitrogen after fire. The number of most of the groups of soil animals was lower (not always significantly) in the burned area than that in the soils of the undisturbed forests. The changes in the taxonomic diversity were specific for each taxon studied. Overall, the diversity of invertebrates was related to the litter thickness. However, the high taxonomic diversity of soil fauna did not always correspond to the active functioning of the ecosystem. Thus, for some taxa, a quite close correlation was found, for instance, between the total number of species (of testate amoebae in particular) and the berry crop, as well as between the soil mesofauna population and the dead wood stock. The total diversity of the investigated taxa included in the detrital trophic web was the most reliable indicator of the carbon stock in the burned areas. © Pleiades Publishing Ltd. 2016.
