Adaptive User Support in Agent Based Dynamic Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the concept of an ad hoc agent environment as a way for users to interact with an ambient intelligent environment is introduced. Utilizing agents, users can interact on a level that best suits their needs and capabilities, leaving tedious chores to the agents. The user interacts with this environment as a whole, instead of interacting with individual applications on individual devices. Devices and services in the environment have to be more or less independent, which fits well with the notion that agents are autonomous. Intelligence enables the agents to learn about their user and adept the environment in such a way that the users cognitive resources are not overly addressed. A research application that demonstrates some of the issues involved when employing agents has been developed. The application shows that there is a tension between the amount of control a user can have over an agent and the autonomy of the agent.

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...
