The importance of development ULT (unit level test) is no doubt today. But deployment in ultralarge-scale software till sufficient coverage requires big effort while it could be hard for developers to precisely identify the error prone logics deserving best test coverage. In this paper, we propose one novel Smart Management system or automatic on ultra-large-scale which can provide recommendati...

We present the Smart-its platform, a tool for embedded context aware systems. Smart-its are an ideal development tool for evaluating concepts and ideas that require embedded sensing and wireless communication solutions. Two complementary platforms are described. The Lancaster DIY Smart-its platform was specifically designed for rapid prototyping affording easy hardware and software customizatio...

Smart spaces are open complex computing systems, consisting of a large variety of cooperative smart things. Central to building smart spaces is the support for sophisticated coordination among diverse smart things collaborating to accomplish specified tasks. Multi-agent systems are often used as the software infrastructures to address the coordination in smart spaces. However, since agents in s...

When you add a CD-ROM reader to your computer, this new device becomes integrated in part of your environment. The CD-ROM performs like a floppy disk. When using a spreadsheet and a word-processing, if you cut some cells in the first application you can paste these cells in the second application. These two services are provided by application software and operating systems (Windows for PC or S...

This chapter describes a need for Smart Media to enhance the vision of the Smart Internet. Smart Media is introduced as a mechanism to bridge Smart Services and Smart Interactions. Smart Media extends the existing notions of Media in HCI such as Hypermedia, New Media, Adaptive Hypermedia, and Social Media. There are three main contributions from this paper: (1) A historical perspective of media...

The system of smart home can provide a kind of easier, ordered and effective life style to human, and must be the development tendency for future inhabitancy mode. Therefore, a smart home system solution is proposed in this paper. Firstly, this paper analyzes the characteristics of ZigBee technology, device types, network topologies and ZigBee protocol specification. Secondly, a design scheme o...

During the last few years we have developed different smart environments and artifacts by creating devices or extending existing ones to make them smart. In this paper we will show some of the projects developed at the Telekooperation Group. Throughout those examples we show how we have been developing ubiquitous computing aplications by empowering users with new interactions means and extendin...

Smart camera networks provide the opportunity to detect, classify, and trace visual events by means of a wireless network of embedded computing devices equipped with camera sensors. Previous research in this area has largely focused on custom hardware solutions. In contrast, we propose to use mobile phones as a portable and low-cost platform to implement smart camera networks. Due to mass produ...
