Understanding User Activity in Distributed Intelligent Environment

User activity is the most complex part of the context awareness mechanism in an Intelligent Environment. Unfortunately, the computer environment changes overtime. The problem confronting the user is how to enable transparent distribution computing to continue operation across a changing circumstance in a seamless manner and how the environment recognises user activity. This paper describes an approach to determine and recognise user activity based on user location. A sa part of user activity, a mobile access point for a ‘guest’ user to access resources in an unfamiliar domain is also introduced. This work is based on DiCPA architecture, a distributed context processing architecture for smart environments. We show how the scalable distribution of context and context information is managed to characterise user activities.
