Task Partitioning in Smart Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the use of a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone as a controlling device in a smart environment. Main focus for the work is partitioning of the functionality and the UI handling between a mobile phone and a smart appliance. There seems to be no single right solution for the partitioning of functions. Instead, there are so many case dependent characteristics that the partitioning of functions should be designed in a case-specific fashion. The results of this work give the basis for designing the partitioning.

HCI-Task Models and Smart Environments
The paper discusses the idea of using HCI-task models to support smart environments. It introduces a collaborative task modeling language CTML that allows the specification of collaboration and comprehensive dependencies in an OCL-like style. Additionally some ideas are presented that allow informing users and usability experts about the state of actors within smart environments. The paper prov...
متن کاملEnabling end users to program for smart environments
In the Internet of Things area, sensor-based smart environments are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Smart environments can support user's cognitive abilities and support them in various tasks e.g. assembling, or cooking. However, programming applications for smart environments still requires a lot of effort as many sensors need to be programmed and synchronized. In this work, we present a no...
متن کاملModels and Patterns for Smart Environments
In a given smart meeting room, several users are supposed to cooperate together while employing static and dynamic heterogeneous devices. The goal of such environments is to deliver proper assistance to the users while performing their tasks. Thus, task models are an appropriate starting point for those environments. Those models give the developers the opportunity to focus on the users and the...
متن کاملSelf-organized Task Partitioning in a Swarm of Robots
In this work, we propose a method for self-organized adaptive task partitioning in a swarm of robots. Task partitioning refers to the decomposition of a task into less complex subtasks, which can then be tackled separately. Task partitioning can be observed in many species of social animals, where it provides several benefits for the group. Selforganized task partitioning in artificial swarm sy...
متن کاملTask Model-Based Usability Evaluation for Smart Environments
Task models are widely used within the research field of HCI for the model-based development of interactive systems. Recently introduced approaches applied task models further to model the cooperative behavior of people using devices within a smart environment. We describe a method of model-based usability evaluation to evaluate interactive systems, with a particular focus on smart environments...
