The Smart-Its Platform for Embedded Context- Aware Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the Smart-its platform, a tool for embedded context aware systems. Smart-its are an ideal development tool for evaluating concepts and ideas that require embedded sensing and wireless communication solutions. Two complementary platforms are described. The Lancaster DIY Smart-its platform was specifically designed for rapid prototyping affording easy hardware and software customization. The TecO Particle Smart-its are miniaturized in size and optimized for power and communication efficiency.

متن کاملContext Nuggets: A Smart-Its Game
Small, embedded, sensing and communicating computer systems continue to show their applicability in various settings. The Smart-Its platform, which we present, testifies to this. We have developed a game called "ContextNuggets", in order to test and demonstrate the extremities of this platform when subjected to a setting with multiple, ad-hoc users, discovering each other and exchanging context...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
