  3. Introduction Starting point = I-centric architectural framework and Ubiquitous Attentiveness: • ubiquitous computing, • exchanging information between communication systems and. • pro-active responsiveness of the ubiquitous environment. A (wearable) system is ubiquitous attentive when it is wakeful and alert to meaningfully interpret the possibilities of the contemporary human communication space and intentionally induces some (behavioural/system) action(s). Ubiquitous attentiveness ~ context awareness. The ambient or situation is a transection of context.

  4. Definitions Ambient in I-centric computing defines the ambient or situation the actor is in given his communication space at a fixed moment in time. It includes spatial, environmental and physiological information. Ambient Awareness denotes the functionality provided by an I-centric system to sense and exchange the situation in which the individual is in at a certain moment in time

  5. Acquiring ambient information • Sensors in network, in devices or in the environment • Human-machine-interfaces • Actors themselves • Wide area positioning technologies range from Cell-ID to enhanced GPS • Short-range wireless technologies, eg IEEE 802.11 or Hiperlan-II • Position, inertial, motion sensors • Body sensors • Terminal-activity sensors • Camera’s

  6. Crunching (Interpreting) • Aggregating in relation to known reference • Communicating and relating to additional situational information • Different weight & ordering of the processing influence rightful interpretation • Multi-modality

  7. Interactions of humans and machines in processing ambient information • To deduce situational state humans use: • Non-verbal info • (Ir-) rational decision-making • Common sense reasoning • Info about abstract & non-physical relationships • Need to get this info transparant & made explicit • H-M: sequential exchange of input & output data • Res.Q: interpersonal interaction rules & strategies

  8. Standardisation efforts & supporting technologies ISO/TC211, ISO SQL3/MM, OGC GIS (Geographical Information Systems), Open Location Services (OpenLS), Location-interoperability Forum (LIF), Mobile Location Protocol (MLP), geography Markup Language (GML), NaVigation Markup Language (NVML), Point Of Interest exchange language (POIX), National marine Electronics Association’s (NMEA) interface and data protocol NMEA-0183, Simple text Format for the Spatial Location Protocol (SLoP), GMML: XML-based geographical information, Geospatial-eXtensible markup Language (G-XML). Magic Services API Geographic Location/Privacy (geopriv) - IETF

  9. Conclusions Many research questions to be solved around ambient awareness on a global scale across heterogeneous networks and technologies conforming to an appropriate open inter-working architecture • Advances in sensor technology • Combine and express (semantics) position information from different acquiring technologies • Partial information • Multiple readings from one single device • Rightful evaluation of ambient indicators (aggregation in relation to a known reference, Communicating and relating to additional situational information, Proper weight and ordering of the processing of the relevant ambient indicators • Sensory modelling & Requirements for cross-modality • Privacy protection & policies on ambient information access and exchange • Interpersonal interactions rules and strategies • Standardisation specs
