Abstract:
This paper is devoted to a recently running project with a purpose of getting some useful feedback from the interested community. The main point of the project is an attempt to apply approaches developed in the scope of the Ambient Intelligence area and usually implemented indoor (eg., intelligent homes) also in various fields suitable for large-scale outdoor activities (esp. working) applications, like water resources management, forestry, etc. The paper is oriented on investigation and sketching of some possibilities of large scale intelligent sensor network solutions for multi-agent based application in various areas where outdoor activities are frequent, but also where people working outdoor might need some more support because of possible hazardous situations that could appear. All the presented ideas are based on our recent project SMEW: Smart Environments at Workplaces that is oriented on bringing more intelligence to workplaces in general, but it has been oriented prevailingly on indoor working activities. Extending the approaches already developed in its scope to selected outdoor activities seems to be very challenging and useful.
