Abstract:
To deliver on their promises, Physical-Cyber-Social systems must semantically integrate a wide range of heterogeneous multimodal observations, including physical sensor measurements, human self-observations, social observations, and demographic observations. In this paper, we address the problem of collecting and combining sensor measurements and self-observations. We describe an architecture, main features of which are a triple-space-based approach to data integration and a novel approach utilizing instant messaging for eliciting self-observations. A specific application domain considered is health-related monitoring of elderly persons at their homes.
