Abstract
Designs of smart environments for smart living require descriptions of a relevant reality in which the smart environments take place. This paper attempts to describe theoretically a suitable virtual reality upon which a designer can engineer smart environments using information and communication technology (ICT). In this first part, the paper starts with a transportation metaphor, and proceeds to an engine metaphor. It then defines an environment as a platform for smart living. The paper describes the engineering theory of smart environments. It results in a PSV System abstraction. © 2013 IEEE.
