PERSONALIZED SMART RESIDENCY WITH HUMAN ACTIVITY RECOGNITION A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE MASTER IN COMPUTER SCIENCE BY SUDAD H. ABED DR. WU SHAOEN – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA December 2016 DEDICATION To our greatest teacher, the person who took us out of the darkness to the light, the person who carried discomfort on his shoulders for our comfort, our prophet Mohammad; To the pulse of my heart, the secure and warm lap, the one who stayed up to ensure my wellness, my mother; To the man who devoted his life to me, my first friend, the one who I will always go to for advice, my father; To those whom I stood up miss every day, the companions who have stood by me through the good times and the bad, my brothers and sisters; I dedicate my work to you. i ACKNOWLEDGMENT First of all, and most importantly, I thank Allah for all the strength, blessings, and mercy he has been given me. I want to pay a special warm thanks to my teacher and thesis advisor Dr. Shaoen Wu for his guidance, answers, and patience every time I needed him during my work on the thesis. I want to acknowledge my appreciation to Dr. Shaoen Wu for all his effort and support in helping me complete this work. I want to thank my committee members, Dr. David Hua and Dr. Jeff Zhang for all their suggestions and recommendations. Also, I want to thank the chairperson of the Computer Science Department, Dr. Paul Buis, and the Director of Graduate Program, Dr. Samuel Hsieh, for their help throughout my master program and completing my graduation requirements. I want to pay a special thanks to all my family members and friends for all the help, support, and love that I received from them. ii CONTENTS TITLE PAGE 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................................... vi 2.
