Akio Sashima, Noriaki Izumi, Koichi Kurumatani · 2004
A fundamental issue of human-centered coordinating services in Ubiquitous Computing is concerned with dynamic service coordination according to users ’ intensions. How can we coordinate the services to assist the user in receiving a coordinated service to maximize the user ’ s satisfaction in an environment? In order to solve this issue, we have been developing a sort of agent-based coordination framework, called “location-mediated agent coordination,” that orchestrates Web Services embedded in the real world and Web Services on the Internet. In this paper, we show a prototype application of the framework, context-aware information assist services in a museum. 1.
