abstract = {With the increased number of elderly people in developed countries, assistive robotics is gaining more attention allowing to support home care assistance. Here, assistive robotics is adopted to monitor the activities of daily living (ADL) of patients with mild neurological disorders to limit the human monitoring, usually representing a burden for family members. In order to improve the effectiveness and user acceptance level of the robotic system, a middleware layer, able to automatically generate monitoring plans for home care patients, is proposed. The plans are generated as workflow of services, each one representing a monitoring task that can be executed by different devices, including humans, in different ways. We show that a service-oriented approach allows generating adaptive monitoring plans for patients with different levels of neurological disorders, taking into account the dynamic nature of their personality profiles, as well as of the environment they live in.},
