title = "Decision modeling in Smart Home design, the importance of lifestyle in an individual{\textquoteright}s design decision",
abstract = "In this paper, we propose a framework for decision modeling of users in smart home design. Individual{\textquoteright}s preferences that derived from both of his/her {"}Current Lifestyle{"} and {"}Future Lifestyle{"} are considered as the main factors that influence the final decision, Such that the compatibility of the choice alter-natives with these preferences sets up the final decision for the individual. We tested this framework with a virtual experiment. The experiment was conducted among 250 respondents, who were asked to explore a smart home in a virtual environment and then to make a decision among design alternatives for different parts of a smart home. Choices and the underlying effective factors were evaluated by MultiNomial Logit model. The outcomes adequately ascer-tained the proposed framework. Understanding of the effective factors on the user{\textquoteright}s design decisions for a smart home helps designers to incorporate design alternatives with users{\textquoteright} demands in the real world.",
