Useware Modeling for Ambient Intelligent Production Environments

چکیده
The impact of user interface quality has grown in software systems engineering, and will grow further with upcoming new paradigms such as Ambient Intelligence or Ubiquitous Computing, which confront the production industry with a huge diversity of new usage situations. In this paper, we will show the adaptation of a task-oriented useware modeling language, which is employed in the model-based useware development process, to future paradigms by extending its existing models with respect to the new upcoming requirements. This language reflects several user groups’ tasks and user interface structure preferences in a common use model described in a system-independent language. It is being enhanced to describe spatial relations, connections between device compounds, and different ways of fulfilling tasks within different interaction zones. For the future, this model is intended to be used for the run-time generation of user interfaces for adaptive software and intelligent environments, especially in the area of production and manufacturing.

Building Heterogeneous Models at Runtime to Detect Faults in Ambient-Intelligent Environments
This paper introduces an approach for fault detection in ambient-intelligent environments. It proposes to compute predictions for sensor values, to be compared with actual values. As ambient environments are highly dynamic, one cannot pre-determine a prediction method. Therefore, our approach relies on (a) the modeling of sensors, actuators and physical effects that link them, and (b) the autom...
