A Prototype of a Context-Based Architecture for Intelligent Home Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a proposal of a context-based architecture to achieve the required synergy among the ubiquitous computing devices of an intelligent environment. These devices produce context information that models the behaviour of the environment. This context information is the glue among the devices and the context-aware applications. The generated context information provides a common view of the world. A blackboard architecture allows to share this context information and a context model is proposed to represent it. A prototype of such a smart room has been developed, including several devices as well as a set of context-aware demonstrators. They work together employing the context information stored on the blackboard.

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

متن کاملA Prototype of Context Awareness Architecture for Ambience Intelligence at Home
Ambient intelligence is an interdisciplinary field that brings together ubiquitous computing, intelligent environments and context-awareness technologies. This paper describes a context-aware prototype for home environments, and the underlying concepts that we have developed. We propose a standardised representation of the environment context, in such a way that the integration of new developme...

متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
