Pervasive and weakly pervasive pre-Riesz spaces

Programming Pervasive Spaces

ike it or not, tens of billions of lines of Cobol code are still in use today. Invented in 1959 by a group of computer professionals, Cobol empowered developers worldwide to program the mainframe and create applications still in existence today. Undoubtedly, Cobol owes much of its success to its standardization , which started with the American National Standard in 1968. Yet these days, standar...

Turning Pervasive Computing Into Mediated Spaces

A Programming Model for Pervasive Spaces

In this article we will propose a formal model for smart spaces. The key ingredients of this model are user, sensors and actuators. We show how we can derive a programming model based upon knowledge and software engineering. We describe how to interpret the world using an ontology and use this ontology to describe the intentional effect of available actuators. The model is loosely based on the ...

Pervasive Application Integration on Smart Spaces

Off-the-shelf smart devices and applications are expected to be pivotal in the coming need for massive home care. Deployment and integration of these systems in the same household may result in unplanned interactions involving users and entertainment, communication, and health-related devices. These unplanned interactions are a major concern when, for example, communication or entertainment app...
