4. Sensor 2.“Smart Space” • Ratio of Computational Intelligence i i i 100 : 0 100 : 100 ? i i 100 : 10000?

5. What is ? i “Pro-active” SmartSpace VNA Era i Users’Context Intelligent detection of users mission!?!? Users’Preference Intelligent sensing of users’ preferencesbased on integrate sensor frameworkand future “Intelligence” ApplicationDesign Automatic application compositionbased on users’ mission ApplicationRun-time Adaptation Run-time dynamic service allocation & Run-time Adaptive Behavior Service Service Plug&Play (e.g., Jini, UPnP) NetworkLayer (L3) Plug&Play t

6. Current Fundamental Research Issues • To support users work… • How to achieve the flexible collaborative behavior among the services on the numerous devices? • How to reduce users’ complexity on configuring the collaboration?

7. 3.Project Motivation(1) • Research topics on Mobile Network, Middleware, and Application Support • VNA (Virtual Networked Appliances) • WN (Wearable Network) • Integrated Sensor Information Framework • Networks (Sensor, Ad-hoc, Wireless, Heterogeneous)

8. Motivation • Testbed in which we can demonstrate and evaluate both the individual architecture and the collaboration of them. • Research Spiral • Evaluation • Discovery of new technical issues • Invention of new systems solving these issues • Design it, Implement it, and Use it. SmartSpace SNAP(n) n++;

9. 4.“SSLab” Project • Goal • SmartSpace SNAP(2000fall) • Start research spiral for the future • What we do • Construction of infrastructure • Extensibility • Modularity and reconfigurability • Integrative configuration of current systems

10. Project Tasks • A: Physical Structure Support • Room-type Structure: “Box-in-the-Box” • B: Network Support • Network Planes (LAN, Sensor, A/V, Lighting…) • Support for Heterogeneous Ad-hoc Network • C: Middleware and Application Support • Distributed Service Architectures • Wearable Network (WN) • Virtual Networked Appliances (VNA) • Integrated Environmental Information Framework

12. 5.Physical Structure Support • Requirement • Physical Space (e.g., Room) into which diverse devices can be embedded • Extensibility for future systems • Modularity and reconfigurability for dynamic requirement changes • “Sophisticated Appearance”

13. “Box-in-the-Box” Design • Room-type structure built inside a room → “Box-in-the-Box” • Key Design Concepts • “Double Wall/Ceiling/Floor”can have devices and sensors embedded inside the room. • “Modular Wall/Ceiling/Floor Panel”enable reconfiguration of W/C/F according to the changes of physical requirement

14. “Box-in-the-Box” Design • Key Concepts (Cont’d) • “Mobile Wall”enables room reconfiguration. • “Universal Device Attachment”deals with device extension in the future.
