The availability of low cost sensors and mobile devices allowed many advances in research of ubiquitous and pervasive computing area. With the capture of contextual data provided by the sensors attached to these devices it is possible to obtain user state information and the environment, and thus map the relationship between them. One approach to map these relationships are the activities performed by the user, which also are part of the context itself. However, even that human activities could cause injuries, there is not much discussion in the academy of how ubiquitous computing could assess the risk related to them. In this sense, the Activity Project aims to determine the risk situations related to activities performed by people in a context aware environment, through a middleware that considers the risk in the actions that composes an activity and the user performance while performing an activity. This thesis aims to specify the Activity Manager middleware layer proposed for the Activity Project, whose goal is to address issues relating to the prediction of actions and activities and the detection of risk situation in the actions performed by an user. The model developed to address the composition and prediction of activities is based on the Activity Theory, while the risk in actions is determined by changes in the physiological context of the user caused by the actions performed by itself, modeled through the model named Hyperspace Analogous to Context. Tests were conducted and developed models outperformed proposals found for action prediction, with an accuracy of 78.69%, as well as for risk situations detection, with an accuracy of 98.94%, showing the efficiency of the proposed solution.
