Intelligent Association in Agents Based Ubiquitous Computing Environments

  • Published : 2002.10.01

Abstract

Our living spaces are becoming increasingly populated with infinite numbers of intelligent embedded agents we are interacting with. in ubiquitous computing environments the aim is to support the occupants during their everyday lives and enhance their living conditions. In this paper we introduce such an environment, the iDorm, which has arisen from our work in careAgents, a project supported by the UK-Korean S&T collaboration fund and the EU's Disappearing Computer Initiative eGadgets project We discuss the research challenges involved, particularly those relating to intelligently associating and configuring large numbers of embedded agents. The paper presents an intelligent association sys...
