Ontologies for Tracking Ubiquitous Interest

Within a ubiquitous environment, intelligent displays can select the most appropriate material depending on factors such as the audience's preferences and diversity of interest. In addition, such intelligent displays should adapt according to how the audience responds. To do this, they need to determine the composition of the audience, in terms of numbers and diversity of interest. This can affect the choice of video clip shown, by taking into consideration the number of people in the local region, and the preferences of the individuals in that region. In this paper we introduce BluScreen, an agent-oriented market-place that uses ubiquitous wireless technology to determine an audience composition as part of the bidding process, and present an ontology that is used to describe the wireless devices (used to identify and track users) within the local region of a display

An idea model for distributed Idea Management

Processes of Open Innovation and innovation in Living-Labs applying the co-creation paradigm do involve many participating innovators across different organisations and stakeholder groups. This is especially true when dealing with disruptive or radical innovations instead of incremental ones. Any methodology and/or tools supporting such processes are distributed and need to be able to transfer knowledge artefacts such as ideas from one application to another. This paper describes how a repository storing ideas has to be organised in order to address the most important requirements coming from the tasks of creating and evaluating ideas. A model is presented which can be implemented using Internet standards like REST.Peer ReviewedPreprin

Commercial Applications of Agents: Lessons, Experiences and Challenges

As has been argued very eloquently and effectively, there is a chasm that needs to be crossed in the adoption of any new technology [8], and the marketing of such technologies must somehow try to bridge the gap that arises. Many currentl
