A Conceptual Framework For End-User Development in Ambient Intelligence
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the design and continuous evolution of ambient intelligence environments. The framework is based on the metaphor of interconnection between humans and devices belonging to the intelligent environment. All actors are called on to perceive and act on the environment itself, giving rise to novel and unanticipated behaviors. To this aim, the proposed framework is structured along three layers physical, inference and user sharing an information space of events, conditions and actions. In particular, a EUD approach is advocated for the user layer to support ambient configuration and management and foster a smooth and progressive co-evolution of users and technologies.

متن کاملWhen Ambient Intelligence meets the Internet: User Module framework and its applications
Advances in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) technologies, when combined with user-centric computing, present major opportunities for building new communication pathways between end-users and traditional computer networks. We propose to explicitly take the end-user into account by defining a new functional module called the User Module across the layers of the Internet protocol stack. This new User M...
