Pervasive computing systems such as smart spaces typically combine multiple embedded and/or mobile sensing, computing and interaction devices. A variety of distributed computing approaches are used to integrate these devices to support coordinated applications. This paper describes how simple user descriptions of (primarily) physical aspects of such a system can be combined with information from system...
Collaboration is becoming more and more important than before. Many fields including education and business can benefit from the visual collaboration. We already have many picture media sharing applications on the web, but the most natural media format organizing the information is the web page, but till now, there is no a very well-known application offering pure web page sharing without installing...
This paper presents an initiative model for building Open Smart Space (OpenSS) environment. OpenSS is the middle stage of Smart Space identified as the test-bed for pervasive computing research. The model is regarded as a three-layered model: (1) physical space layer, introducing an ontology-based model to represent the entities, the boundary and the fusion of physical space and cyber space; (2) agent...
Cochlear implant (CI) is a very effective option for those people who suffer deep hearing loss. But to perform CI operation would come through a very complicated procedure. Many thorough evaluations or examinations need to be carried out before surgical operation, and a follow-up program needs to be fully committed by the CI recipients. We previously designed a database application software to manage...
The development of ubiquitous healthcare applications has proved to be significantly more complex than traditional healthcare applications. In software engineering research, there are two approaches of interest to us for handling the kind of complexity that emerges. The first is the use of domain-specific languages, which abstracts the low-level domain knowledge required when using general-purpose...
Smart-flow is an innovative process application mode which involves processes in our daily lives based on the Web services spreading over Internet and the pervasive interactions between users and workflow management systems. The dynamic features of pervasive environments and independent service providers do not allow any centralized control or repository. By combining rationales and techniques in...
