Thing Theory: Connecting Humans to Location-Aware Smart Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
As architects, entrepreneurs, hoteliers, healthcare professionals and others embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Smart Environment paradigms, developers will bear the brunt of constructing the IT relationships within these, making sense of the big data produced as a result, and managing the relationships between people and technologies. We explore how PolySocial Reality (PoSR), a framework for representing how people, devices and communication technologies interrelate, can be applied to developing use cases within integrated IoT and Smart Environment paradigms, giving special consideration to the nature of location-aware messaging from sensors, and the resultant data collection. Based on this discussion, we suggest ways to enable more robust messaging, and eliminate redundant messages by enlisting a social awareness of software agents applied in carefully considered contexts.

Future intelligent environments will be inhabited by humans, robots and ‘Smart Objects’ and allow for seamless interaction beyond the desktop. These environments therefore have to be adaptive, self-organizing, provide autonomous reasoning and integrate a variety of heterogenous hardware, objects, sensors and actuators – which goes far beyond merely interconnecting different kinds of technology....

The evolution of wireless communications and pervasive computing is transforming current physical spaces into real smart environments. These emerging scenarios are expected to be composed by a potentially huge amount of heterogeneous smart objects which can be remotely accessed by users via their mobile devices anytime, anywhere. In this paper, we propose a distributed location-aware access con...

The rapid evolution in ubiquitous technologies has increased the demand and enabled for computational support of work anywhere, anytime. Mobility implies migrating computer systems from relatively static physical environments to highly dynamic and heterogeneous environments. The physical environment (including humans) is increasingly being instrumented with sensors, actuators, and other computi...
متن کاملIntroduction to the thematic issue
This special issue is focussed on context awareness aspects within Smart Environments. Context awareness is one of the key features of Smart Environments, touching all layers of Ambient Intelligence from sensors and networks to Artificial Intelligence and interaction modalities. One of the questions related to Artificial Intelligence is, for example, how to appropriately represent context, or h...
