EasyLiving: Technologies for Intelligent Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The EasyLiving project is concerned with development of an architecture and technologies for intelligent environments which allow the dynamic aggregation of diverse I/O devices into a single coherent user experience. Components of such a system include middleware (to facilitate distributed computing), world modelling (to provide location-based context), perception (to collect information about world state), and service description (to support decomposition of device control, internal logic, and user interface). This paper describes the current research in each of these areas, highlighting some common requirements for any intelligent environment.

Nowadays, one of the problems of human life is popula- tion congestion and the lack of ability to meet their needs. One of the important infrastructures affected by this issue is the transportation infrastructure. Moreover, increasing transportation facilities through conventional methods, due to the need for macro investment and much time, cannot be nowadays considered as a proper and practi- ...
متن کاملHow a Smart Environment Can Use Perception
Perception is a vital part of a smart environment, both as a way to sense the state of the space and a way to detect commands from its users. This paper catalogs different sorts of perception for smart environments using the EasyLiving project at Microsoft Research as the main example.
