Smart space laboratory project: Toward the next generation computing environment
Abstract — This paper describes the Smart Space Lab (SSLab) project toward the next generation computing environment, “Smart Space. ” As numerous types of networked appliances, such as A/V devices, home appliances, or sensors, are connected to each other via both wired and wireless networks, computational intelligence can be regarded as being distributed and embedded into users ’ surrounding space, rather than on a specific device such as users ’ PCs or P-DAs. We call such a space with embedded computation “Smart Space. ” In Smart Space, users can have their computing environment relying on not only computation of their carrying devices, but one in Smart Space. Toward the realization of Smart Space, SS-Lab Project is now addressing three research issues, (A)physical structure of Smart Space, (B)network architecture with support of dynamism and heterogeneity, and (C)adaptive middleware architecture and applications.
