Software agents for ambient intelligence
I. Satoh · 2005
This paper presents a general-purpose framework for ambient intelligence. The framework provides people, places, and things with computational functionalities to assist and annotate them. Using RFID-based location-tracking systems, it can navigate Java-based mobile agents. These agents can offer location-aware and personalized services, to stationary or mobile computers near the locations of the entities and places to which the agents are attached, even when the locations change. The framework enables users to directly access their personalized sendees from stationary computing devices in the environment or from their portable computing devices, even when they move.
