Logical versus Physical Programming for Ubiquitous Applications

چکیده
Ubiquitous computing provides services to users, according to their current situation. Interactions with such programs are as implicit as possible. We find among the applications the electronic supermarkets or the virtual guides for museums’ visitors. The majority of ubiquitous applications use a digital model of the physical world to compute the delivered services. With our approach the computations are done directly in the physical space. There’s no need to define a digital model of the physical environment. This note presents a physical programming environment dedicated to ubiquitous applications design. It also identifies a problem with the data addressing mode that can’t take into account the relative position of the moving entities.

Feature Dimension Reduction of Multisensor Data Fusion using Principal Component Fuzzy Analysis
These days, the most important areas of research in many different applications, with different tools, are focused on how to get awareness. One of the serious applications is the awareness of the behavior and activities of patients. The importance is due to the need of ubiquitous medical care for individuals. That the doctor knows the patient's physical condition, sometimes is very important. O...
متن کاملInfrastructure Concepts for Tag-Based Ubiquitous Computing Applications
Object tagging systems such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) enable the implementation of a wide variety of ubiquitous computing applications. Up to date, most of these prototypical applications have been implemented from scratch. Our goal is to develop concepts and software frameworks to ease the development of such applications. In this paper we present our experience with with a coll...
متن کاملEnabling Context-awareness by Predicate Detection in Asynchronous Pervasive Computing Environments
Pervasive applications are involving more and more autonomous computing and communicating devices, augmented with the abilities of sensing and controlling the logical / physical environment. To enable context-awareness for such applications, we are challenged by the intrinsic asynchrony among the context collecting devices. To this end, we introduce the predicate detection theory and propose th...
متن کاملDealing with Uncertainty in Mobile Publish/Subscribe Middleware
Because of its loose coupling between event producers and consumers, publish/subscribe (pub/sub) middleware has many advantages when implementing systems for spontaneous, ad-hoc, pervasive applications. One main aspect of such applications is device mobility, but unfortunately, most of the current pub/sub systems do not adequately support mobile clients. Mobility has two orthogonal aspects: phy...
متن کاملNorm-Aware Agents for Ad Hoc Networks: A Position Paper
A norm-governed, agent-based approach is proposed as a key technology for operating Ad Hoc networks, both as the logical platform for ubiquitous computing applications and as the physical platform for ubiquitous computing environments. Of the many issues raised by such a proposal, three are: what kind of cognitive capability the agents require, what kind of social and regulatory organisation is...
