  1. Toward a Standard Ubiquitous Computing Framework Martin Modahl Bikash Agarwalla Dr. Gregory Abowd Dr. Umakishore Ramachandran T. Scott Saponas

  2. Motivation Standard Framework? MPAC 2004

  3. Motivation • Telephone Patch board Analogy • Standard and Uniform, not necessarily Central interface • Contributions: • A system infrastructure Taxonomy for UbiComp applications and mapping of existing tools using our Taxonomy MPAC 2004

  4. Outline • Motivations • Applications • Taxonomy • Conclusions and Future Work MPAC 2004

  5. Family Intercom Application • Application Features • Developed at Aware Home in Gatech (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fce/ahri/) • Multi-party communication • Dynamic connections and Reconnections • System • Transport • Audio Stream (MediaBroker - IEEE PerCom’04) • Control Information (UPnP) • Location System (Abowd, G., A. Battestini, and T. O'Connell. "The Location Service: A framework for handling multiple location sensing technologies".2002. Available at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fce/ahri/publications/) • Utilized the advantages of both UPnP as well as Media Broker ! MPAC 2004

  6. Other Applications • Sample Applications from Gatech • TV Watcher (Technical Report: GIT-CERCS-04-25), http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~rama/ubiq-presence/ • Event Web (FTDCS’04) • Digital Family Portrait (CHI’01) • Common Taxonomy ! MPAC 2004

  7. Taxonomy MPAC 2004

  8. Registration and Discovery • Common to all other classes • Used in many different ways • Description Language and Discovery Protocol • Examples: SSDP, UDDI, WSDL, DNS, LDAP, Jini service discovery MPAC 2004

  9. Data Storage and Streaming • Provides multimedia data storage, transfer, and archival • Examples: MediaBroker(IEEE Percom’04), D-Stampede(ICDCS’02), GnuStream (Purdue), Coda (CMU) • Comparison Metrics: functionalities and QoS MPAC 2004

  10. Service and Subscription • Use of discrete messages • Enable query and update of state information • Push as well as Pull • Examples: UPnP, Jini, Event Heap (Stanford), Context-Toolkit (Gatech), Web Service MPAC 2004

  11. Computation Sharing • UbiComp applications offloading computation dynamically to HPC resources • Examples: Resource Management Systems in Grid (condor, legion, nimrod-g). MPI, PVM for clusters • Don’t support pervasive applications currently MPAC 2004

  12. Context Management • Includes • Language to describe and discuss context • Infrastructure to detect, update and query context • Uses Data Storage and Streaming, Service and Subscription • Examples: Semantic Web Ontologies, Location Stack(UWash), Event Web (Gatech) MPAC 2004

  13. Taxonomy Summary • Some tools broadly fit into multiple categories! • Taxonomy as a map of existing tools for building pervasive applications • Taxonomy as a “litmus test” to evaluate features provided by a particular pervasive computing system MPAC 2004

  14. Conclusions and Future Work • Presented • Taxonomy which can be used • To evaluate future UbiComp middleware systems • To enable modular implementation of UbiComp applications by integrating appropriate tools • Future • validate the taxonomy through complex infrastructure instantiation • Understand the interaction and gap between different classes • Evaluate performance trade offs MPAC 2004
