| Ubiquitous computing is a field that has drawn increasing attention of the research community in recent years. Ubiquitous computing in home environments has the potential of influencing our everyday life to a great degree. Spatial Models are a useful tool for ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous computing in home environments has special requirements for the spatial models and the infrastructures to manage these models. The goal of this thesis is to create a spatial model and an infrastructure to manage this spatial model which is specifically tailored for ubiquitous computing in home environments. The requirements for this model and the management infrastructure are examined, using the Aware Home of the Georgia Institute of Technology as an example. Based on these requirements, a lightweight, flexible and pragmatic infrastructure is created, the Aware Home Spatial Service (AHSS). To facilitate the use of the AHSS in larger usage scenarios which go beyond a single house, AHSS then is integrated into the Nexus platform. Also a proposal is presented to extend the Nexus Augmented World Model to better support ubiquitous computing in home environments. | |
