"Ambient systems may support the elderly in many aspects of their lives, bringing new level of comfort, higher safety, and better health. But, as we revealed in parallel research on deep design, there are dissonances in what do the elderly wish and what the intelligent technologies indeed offer. The dissonances may lead to reluctant acceptance or even to rejection of possibly beneficial products. In this paper we borrowed concepts from economics and transformed them into generic model which captures the mental process of evaluation of new aspects of life. Proposed model is specifically aimed on ambient intelligence products, viewed from the eyes of possible elderly users, though not necessarily limited to this particular focus. The process of evaluation, leading either to acceptance or to rejection, may be described as a sequence of rational selections from available options, based on perceived benefit (utility) and cost (in terms of time, effort, support from others). Simplifying preconditions introduced in the paper reduce the model to optimization problem of linear programming. In conclusions we discuss limitations of the model and suggest further possible refinements and evaluation."@en .
