Cooperating Autonomous Smart Devices

چکیده
Pervasive and ambient intelligence will involve interaction coordination and cooperation among more and more smart devices. Research in Multi-agent systems addresses the issues of interaction and autonomy and thus provides interesting technologies to design pervasive and ambient computing environments. In this article, we explore various approaches to interconnect the physical and material world of smart devices with the software and virtual world of multi-agents systems. An usage scenario is introduced, for illustrating the different approaches.

COSMIC: A real-time event-based middleware for the CAN-bus
The paper describes the event model and the architecture of the COSMIC (COoperating SMart devICes) middleware. Based on the assumption of tiny smart sensors and actuators, COSMIC supports a distributed system of cooperating autonomous devices. COSMIC considers quality of service requirements in the event model and provides an application interface which allows to express the respective temporal...
متن کاملPrognostics and Control Integration With Dynamic Reconfigurable Agents
There is a proliferation of “smart” devices for industrial and commercial systems employing embedded processor, sensors, logic, and communications. Along with benefits provided such as enhanced control and diagnostics, there is a commensurate increase in system complexity and the need to effectively manage real time dynamic system components. A framework for managing complex, dynamic, coupled e...
متن کاملCooperating Objects Design Space and Markets
The area of Cooperating Objects is an emerging domain that builds upon (networked) embedded systems, ubiquitous computing and (wireless) sensor networks but stresses the cooperation between modular, autonomous and heterogeneous devices that try to achieve a common goal. We present a definition and explain the characteristics of Cooperating Objects. By looking at market predictions and our own s...
متن کاملCooperating Smart Everyday Objects – Exploiting Heterogeneity and Pervasiveness in Smart Environments
Pervasive Computing envisions the seamless integration of computation into everyday environments in order to support people in their daily activities. Due to recent technological advances, the computing devices that can be used to enrich our environments with computation have become increasingly smaller and less obtrusive, so that it is possible to embed them into mundane everyday things. Such ...
متن کاملImplementation of Control Systems for Autonomous Robots
The paper presents diverse control system implementation techniques for autonomous robots. It takes into account that such control systems require programming means for communicating the tasks that have to be executed by the robots and that those devices must have both considerable sensor data gathering capability and technical means for communicating and cooperating with other devices, presuma...
