Gordon Surface Modeling in a Network Environment

摘要

With the advent of the Internet we entered the age of distributed ubiquitous systems that communicate to find out what need to be measured and then do it. These future systems, built for engineering and personal applications as well, will have components that have their own identities. Such dialog systems will be able to communicate among themselves and with the user. This means that individual components or nodes must be based on much richer semantics then it is usual in the current systems. Engineering devices of the future will have to perform traditional tasks such as monitoring and control in mutual collaboration and in collaboration with users. In this paper we present a framework and some specifications for one of the spectrum of possible tasks, namely temperature modeling using fixed and mobile network of sensors. The goal of the presented temperature modeling procedure is to find out what measurements need to be done. The mathematical model extends from one dimensional generalized linear networks to a Gordon surface approximant. The Gordon surface interpolates a network of curves [2], The network of curves can be even degenerated (one side collapsed into a point) [7]. The role of the whole dialog system is to provide interactive approach to solving a variety or ordinary task and to evolve the system by absorbing declarative and procedural knowledge in a way that does not rely entirely on user's interpretation (semantics).
