INCA: A Software Infrastructure to Facilitate the Construction and Evolution of Ubiquitous Capture & Access Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
People’s daily lives provide them with memories and records that they often want to review later. They must expend time and effort to record these experiences manually for future retrieval. To address this issue, applications that automatically capture details of a live experience and provide future access to that experience have become an increasingly common theme of research in ubiquitous computing. In this paper, we present our experience building a number of capture and access applications, sharing insights on the successes and difficulties we encountered. These lessons inform the design of the INCA toolkit (Infrastructure for Capture and Access), which supports the construction of applications in this class. We will demonstrate how INCA facilitates the rapid prototyping and simplified evolution of increasingly complex capture and access applications.

متن کاملINCA: Architectural Support for Building Automated Capture & Access Applications
Applications that automatically capture some details of a live experience and provide future access to that experience are increasingly common in the ubiquitous computing community. However, there remains a largely unexplored design space of potential new applications, and very few of the previous systems have been able to evolve in functionality over an extended period of time. To overcome the...
متن کاملExperiences on Building Capture & Access Applications
Capture & access applications exploit the ubiquitous computing paradigm – populate the environment with computational devices and applications to transparently assist people on their activities – to support the automatic capture of information in live experiences and generate corresponding documents that can be further stored, accessed and extended. Traditional examples of such a class of appli...
