A semiotic approach to ad-hoc networked environments

摘要: The aim of the work in this thesis is to develop a new approach interacting with adhoc networked environments. These are networks where devices connect on demand with no underlying network infrastructure. intention develop these environments so that and services these can publish their services, query for other each when required. The devices need be able perform actions without prior knowledge each other, therefore theory communication, semiotics, presented. Ad-hoc networks provide an appropriate test-bed application semiotics as they allow services to `know' about communicate one another. By using semiotics, we create representation communication allows system communicate within networked environment ask connections well as interact users provide. This way user demand something from the surrounding elements within communicate with provide service To effective model for representation, various research areas will discussed such smart environments, natural language processing, multicast human computer interaction. Principles used all implement of interacting Different types environments, as as homes m-commerce observe how di erent contexts ect communication. A prototype was realised proof concept and evaluated by subjects. highlighted feasibility and opened area worthwhile further research.
