Applying regulation to ubiquitous computing environments
Résumé
Ubiquitous computing systems may be considered as typical open systems, where due to the mobility of devices, heterogeneous and previously unknown entities may come to interact spontaneously. The standard context-aware ubiquitous systems are mainly concerned with topological space and resources availability. But a topological space is also populated with agents, human or artificial, that act and interact socially. This paper describes our proposal for integrating a context-aware approach with a social norms regulation approach. More precisely, we discuss a first prototype integration of MoCA architecture with the social norms regulation architecture DynaCROM. A small scenario involving professors and students collaborating within and across several universities is used as an example and as a first test case for our approach.
