An Adaptation Method for Cooperative Device Content in A Ubiquitous Environment

摘要

In this paper, we propose a new concept for information distribution on a ubiquitous network which we call Atmospheric Computing. Information Atmosphere consists of two types of data distribution: Information Vapor is an active user profile that enables distribution of user profile information to other accessible devices in a way similar to how materials evaporate and spread throughout an atmosphere. Information Solidification is the opposite function. Multiple devices sharing common information might have topics of common interest on the various users' devices. When new devices are connected to the environment, these devices detect suitable information through filtering, and then request it from the other devices on the local ubiquitous network. We describe this concept in detail and discuss an implementation of our concept: Atmospheric Content.
