Current Fundamental Research Issues

To support users work…How to achieve the flexible collaborative behavior among the services on the numerous devices?How to reduce users’ complexity on configuring the collaboration?


3.Project Motivation(1)Research topics on Mobile Network, Middleware, and Application Support VNA (Virtual Networked Appliances) WN (Wearable Network) Integrated Sensor Information Framework Networks

(Sensor, Ad-hoc, Wireless, Heterogeneous)


MotivationTestbed in which we can demonstrate and evaluate both the individual architecture and the collaboration of them.Research Spiral

Evaluation Discovery of new technical issues Invention of new systems solving these issues

Design it, Implement it, and Use it.

4.“SSLab” ProjectGoal SmartSpace SNAP(2000fall) Start research spiral for the future

What we do Construction of infrastructure

Extensibility Modularity and reconfigurability

Integrative configuration of current systems


Project TasksA: Physical Structure Support Room-type Structure: “Box-in-the-Box”

B: Network Support Network Planes (LAN, Sensor, A/V, Lighting…) Support for Heterogeneous Ad-hoc Network

C: Middleware and Application Support Distributed Service Architectures Wearable Network (WN)Wearable Network (WN) Virtual Networked Appliances (VNA)Virtual Networked Appliances (VNA) Integrated Environmental Information Integrated Environmental Information

5.Physical Structure SupportRequirement Physical Space (e.g., Room) into which divers

e devices can be embedded Extensibility for future systems Modularity and reconfigurability

for dynamic requirement changes “Sophisticated Appearance”


“Box-in-the-Box” DesignRoom-type structure built inside a room → “Box-in-the-Box”Key Design Concepts “Double Wall/Ceiling/Floor”

can have devices and sensors embedded inside the room.

“Modular Wall/Ceiling/Floor Panel”enable reconfiguration of W/C/F according to the changes of physical requirement


“Box-in-the-Box” Design

Key Concepts (Cont’d) “Mobile Wall”

enables room reconfiguration. “Universal Device Attachment”

deals with device extension in the future.
