Research: Smart Sensing & Context Awareness
Published by cornelius on Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 in Technology.Tags: context awareness, sensor networks, smart sensing
Smart Sensing and Context are the key enablers for smarter autonomous systems, providing transparent technologies to realise the vision of ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligent networks. (Wireless) sensor and actuator networks, tightly integrated into the fabric of the Internet — a Real World Internet — provide the underlying manifestation of the real world in the digital world. The realisation of this Real
World Internet leads to emergence of smart surroundings, covered with objects and persons wearing clothing that provide networked sensing and feedback elements (through actuation) to infer user’s needs and provide relevant context aware assistance. Networked smart sensors recognise context from raw data and utilise context to optimise sensing.
