Building Ambient Intelligence into a Ubiquitous Computing Management System

The ANS is a ubiquitous computing management tool, designed to mimic the Autonomic Nervous System of living creatures. Its job is to manage an intelligent distributed environment for e-medicine applications. The homes’ computing power consists of many computing units of varying capacities (e.g. sensors). To seamlessly plug/unplug units into the environment requires that the system have a high degree of adaptability and reconfigurability since users cannot perform systems management. This paper describes the ANS and how the idea of Intelligent Modelling can aid self-optimisation of the system structure required to drive such an ambient system.
