Acknowledgment This thesis is the result of almost five years research at the Information Systems in the Built Environment (ISBE) group (formerly known as the Design System group) and the Urban Planning group of TU Eindhoven. Without the persistent support, contribution, and encouragement of a number of people, this work would not have been possible, and definitely not as enjoyable. I would like to thank everyone who supported me throughout the project. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors Prof. Bauke de Vries and Prof. Harry Timmermans for accompanying me on this scientific journey, and for their worthwhile guidance. Thanks for the confidence and freedom that I have received from you in this project. My greatest thanks go to Bauke for his encouragement, supports and most of all getting me involved in different international conferences, demo presentations, teaching programs that all helped me to build up my scientific network in the startups community of smart homes. His guidance in all stages of the thesis, in the designing experiments, providing instruments, conducting experiments and of course in the writing articles, were the essence for making this research possible. Special thanks go to Harry for always being incredibly supportive. From the very first day, his input in terms of planning the project, defining the research method, conducting the analysis and modeling was a true merit in this research. Besides my supervisors, I would like to gratefully thank my Ph.D. defense committee: Prof. Sevil Sariyildiz (Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft), Prof. Petra Badke-Schaub (Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft), Dr. Stephan Wensveen (Faculty of Industrial Design at TU Eindhoven), Prof. Wijnand IJsselsteijn (Faculty of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences at TU Eindhoven), and Prof. Juliette Bekkering (Faculty of Built Environment at TU Eindhoven). Their suggestions and comments on an early version of the thesis provide concrete improvements for this book. I truly appreciate their valuable contribution. I also would like to thank Joran Jessurun, for helping with designing the web-based experiment and developing the prototype application called VR smart home. It was a pleasure collaboration with a lot of learning from him. Developing multiple virtual tasks and simulating an interactive smart home with real-time interactions were not possible without his points of view and his programming skills. All the discussions with him at work, lunch times, board games and day trips were a true pleasure. Many thanks go to Peter van der Waerden for giving me the opportunity to have several meetings with him. His immense guidance in the analyses was like a gift from the sky for me. I would also like to thank Theo Arentze, who at different occasions contributed to the advancement of the work with providing valuable advice about the statistical analyses. I am extremely thankful and indebted to him for sharing expertise, and sincere and valuable guidance extended to me. Appreciation also goes to Jakob Beetz for his creative criticism and contributing in publishing a paper which was awarded. I am really grateful to Sjoerd Buma, who provided all technical supports and lab facilities. Thanks for the nice talk we had on coffee breaks and lunch time. I am also thankful to all the other staff members of our research group, especially Jan Dijkstra and Aant van der Zee. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Karin Nisselrooij.Steenbergen for her awesome kindness and continuous supports that gave me both in my work and social life. My sincere thanks also go to Marlyn Aretz, who was a caring colleague and a wonderful person. There are no words to express how difficult it is to miss her. Rest in peace! Many thanks go to my colleagues both in ISBE group and Urban Planning group. Firstly, I would like to thank my former colleagues, Penny (Yuzhong Lin), Qunli Chen, Remco Niemeijer, Cahyono Susetyo, Kymo Slager, who I have learned a lot from them how to manage a Ph.D. life. I also thank my new colleagues Wiet Mazairac and his friendly family, Tong Wang, Thomas Krijnen, Chi Zhang, Kai Liao and my DDSS colleagues Ifigenia Psarra, Elaheh Khademi, Zahra Parvaneh. All of them have generously shared their knowledge and experiences with me. In particular, I am grateful to Mandy van de Sande, Linda van de Ven, Marielle Kruizinga, Annemiek Engelen and Ingrid Dekkers, for their assistance in administrative matters and of course, the nice chats. I would like to give my special thanks to all participants for showing patience and being enthusiasm for contributing to the web-based experiment. The research project would not have been possible without their contribution. A Ph.D. cannot be accomplished without pleasant moments and people in the daily basis. There is no way I can thank my friends, who delighted my 5 years living in the Netherlands. I specially would like to thank Saeedeh and Saeed for their continual warm and generous support. I am deeply thankful to: Azar & Hamid, Ellaheh & Pooyan, Samaneh & Hossein, Elham & Amin, Sama & Saber, Parisa & Amin, Negar & Hamed, Solmaz & Pooya, Leila & Salman, Raheleh & Adam, Fereshteh & Hani, Fereshteh & Safa, Maryam & Pooya, Elnaz & Arash, Negar & Hooman, Samaneh & Javad, Nafiseh & Mohammadreza, Nafiseh & Reza, Hamid, Amin, Samineh & Mahdi, Somayeh & Mahdi, Shadi & Ebad, Marzieh & Rasool, Marzieh & Hamid, Neda & Hojat, Maryam & Roozbeh, Narges & Hamidreza, Hamideh & Hadi, Maryam & Ali, and Shohreh, for all the joyful and unforgettable moments we spent together. Many thanks go to Saleh and his wife, Narges, for being a good friend and colleague. I also would like to thank Samira, Farideh sadat & Amir, Niloofar & Saeed, and Maryam Azimi, who were not in the Netherlands but their friendship far away was thoroughly a merit for me.
