  1. Federated Devices: Augmenting Mobility with Ambient Resources Frankie James, Ph.D.SAP Research, RC Palo Alto

  2. What are Federated Devices? • Basic Idea: Ad-hoc wireless federation of two or more computer components to enhance the capabilities of at least one of them • Ad-hoc: • Wireless protocols allow federation, but pairing uses complicated set-up • Wireless: • Many mobile devices and sensors can currently “federate” to other devices through physical connections • Types of Federation: • Federating devices for enhanced input/output capability • Federating devices for resource composition • Federation of sensor network to nearby PDA with ability to process incoming data and display a chart • Cf. OSGi

  3. data displayed on large screen Example: Federation of mobile device and ambient display • Ambient displays to augment mobile device usage • Mobile screen too small to show all important data • Large screen easier for sharing, etc.

  4. Federation and the Reality-Based Framework • Context-awareness and federation: • Resources in the environment serve the user’s needs • Natural actions (e.g., walking towards something) should trigger federation (cf. MICA – Fraunhofer FIT) • “Virtuosity” and federation: • Users can develop virtuosity in expert interfaces tailored to their needs and use this to control other devices • Can meet accessibility needs: cf. Disability, Inability, and Cyberspace, John Perry et al., 1997 – Total Access System
