Towards Rapidly Deployable Intelligent Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a novel framework and paradigm for creating rapidly deployable intelligent interactive environments, and in particular, homes. We argue that common household information appliances, such as televisions and stereos, present a seamless and nonintrusive point from which to "observe" and interact with members of a household ̄ To this end, we describe the framework of our distributed software agent system and the underlying hardware infrastructure. We also briefly describe applications that can be built with our system ̄

The Masc Composable Computing Infrastructure for Intelligent Environments
We present a system architecture and framework for creating rapidly deployable intelligent environments. The rapid pace of innovation of computer hardware and intelligent systems software leads to uncertainty that deters manufacturers from adopting a single processor, network, or software environment for placement into their products. The MASC Composable Computing infrastructure addresses these...
متن کاملEnvironments for Deployable Components
Deployable components are software components that can easily be installed and uninstalled. This usually means that they are compiled and do not consist of source code. Composition environments enable the use of deployable components by making it possible to compose applications out of deployable components and to execute those applications. A composition environment is based on a component mod...
متن کاملDistributed Simulation in Manufacturing Using High Level Architecture
Distributed simulation has the potential to become widely applicable for geographically-dispersed manufacturing environments, as is the case with desktop manufacturing or rapidly deployable micro-assembly stations. The work presented here discusses in detail the theory of the distributed manufacturing simulation infrastructure based on the IEEE HLA standard and clarifies with practical examples...
متن کاملA Versatile and Rapidly Deployable Device to Enable Spatiotemporal Observations of the Sessile Microbes and Environmental Surfaces
Although microbes typically associate with surfaces, detailed observations of surface-associated microbes on natural substrata are technically challenging. We herein introduce a flow channel device named the Stickable Flow Device, which is easily configurable and deployable on various surfaces for the microscopic imaging of environmental microbes. We demonstrated the utility of this device by c...
متن کاملCustomizing smart environments: A tabletop approach
Smart environments are becoming a reality in our society and the number of intelligent devices integrated in these spaces is increasing very rapidly. As the combination of intelligent elements will open a wide range of new opportunities to make our lives easier, final users should be provided with a simplified method of handling complex intelligent features. Specifying behavior in these environ...
