Abstract:
The maintenance of context information for real-world environments contains several challenges when it has to be computationally observed. Any event that is observable in the real-world has to be registered and may lead to transitions in the digital system. Therefore, a representation of the environment, the affected users, their whereabouts and their interactions with the system is required. A software framework is presented that provides a generic set of methods to collect information from multiple, heterogeneous sensors deployed within the environment. A non-deterministic communication topology is established, which handles a distributed version of a system state on a best effort basis. The system is designed to be potentially applied within various environments and the primary application scenario is represented by the implicit energy management in single-family homes. There the practical deployment of the system proves the usability and sustainability of the presented approach.
