An application framework for a situation-aware system support for smart spaces

摘要

Despite a considerable research effort towards system support for smart spaces, in recent years we have been witnessing a growingperception about a persistent gap between the promises of the area andits real achievements. We are investigating a situation-aware system support for smart spaces that builds on a new set of assumptions and designprinciples, based on user-controlled associations between global servicesand local resources. The realisation of this concept raises important challenges across a model for global autonomous applications that enablesthem to integrate the functionality and resources of multiple situations.This research work aims at investigating such a model and evaluatingthe concept of situation-aware system support for smart spaces.
