Ubiquitous Computing and Smart Homes – Distribution of Data within Domicile
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ubiquitous Computing is a multidisciplinary field of research that explores computing technology as it moves beyond the desktop environment and becomes increasingly interwoven into the fabric of our lives [2]. It is this idea of interweaving technology into our daily lives, which will be looked at in this research. This paper presents the development of a generic Home Information System (HIS), which will allow us to support everyday activities in domestic settings. A typical domestic setting has a vast variety of data coming into the environment, some of which is in different formats (Digital/Analogue) and use different proprietary protocols to interact with relevant devices and applications. The aim of the prototype will be to allow for the distribution of data coming into the house to various devices. The data could incorporate Audio/Video, Telecom, Images/Photos, and user input etc.

Ubiquitous computing is now mature enough to unleash the potential of Smart Homes. The obstacle is no more about hardware concerns but lies in how inhabitants can build, configure and control their Smart Home. In this paper, we defend the idea that End-User-Development (EUD), which considers inhabitants as makers rather than mere consumers, is an effective approach for tackling this obstacle. W...
