Enriched with more and more intelligent devices modern homes rapidly transform into smart environments. Their growing capabilities enable the implementation of a new generation of ubiquitous applications, but also raise the complexity of the development. Developers of applications for smart environments must cope with a multitude of sensors, devices, users and thus contexts. We present a model-based...
Pervasive computing applications should assist their user in all situations of the daily life. These applications are able to interact with their environment, called context, in both ways. On one hand they are aware of their environment and can use this information in configuration decisions. On the other hand they actively modify the context. Existing approaches only manage the use of shared resources...
Bringing heterogeneous devices like industrial machines, home appliances, and wireless sensors into the Web assumes the usage of well-defined standards and protocols. Our approach combines the Web Service standard for devices DPWS with the embedded system and component management standard OSGi. It implements the specifications of OSGi Remote Services, as well as OASIS Discovery, Eventing, SOAP-over-UDP,...
Deploying body-area inertial sensor networks on human bodies to capture motions has attracted a lot of interests recently, especially in cyber-physical video games and context-aware applications. While video games on the cyber world have been quite popular, enhancing them with more physical inputs, such as those from inertial sensors, is becoming a new trend. Following this trend, we develop a video...
Effectively guiding people in complex and highly dynamic work environment requires advances in high-level declarative activity models that can describe the flow of human work activities and their intended outcomes, as well as novel user interface models for distributing guidance information across time and space. This paper describes a new line of research aimed at developing a new programming and...
