Abstract: | Ambient Intelligence’s vision builds on the integration provided by Ubiquitous Computing and includes the people as the centrepiece and ultimate purpose technology serve. It is based on the increasing technological advances in embedded computational power, information and sensing capabilities embedded into everyday objects. Many projects in the last decade have pursued the realisation of environments sentient to human presence and proactive to support the user’s needs. However, despite the current availability of technology, there is a notorious absence of large-scale settings. This absence raises questions about the complexity and effort required for top-down approaches to make smart environments available everywhere. There are too many scenarios to be modelled one by one in real life, and the scenarios, people, and technology change over time. Several approaches have been pursued to integrate devices and services into federations interacting with humans as a coherent system. However, they need to address devices’ cooperation across different environments and include the people as active participants. This results in isolated islands of integration with clearly defined boundaries, such as the smart home or office and between technology and people. This thesis presents a novel paradigm called Open Smart Environments (OSEs) that are based on three main entities: knowledge-bundled devices and services called tangible or soft Smart Products, the Human as a first-class actor with abilities, preferences and skills, and the Environment as a representation of the 3D space where both Human and Smart Products are situated and carry out their daily tasks and activities. Besides the matching architectures and development, these three components require new adaptation mechanisms, component architectures and concepts for their realisation that are also proposed, implemented and demonstrated in this thesis. The proposed components provide the mechanisms to build intelligent environments that gradually grow in complexity and smartness. People and technology interact seamlessly with each other in and across space. |
