Abstract. In this paper, we present CASi (Context Awareness Simulator), a software system for the simulation of context-aware computer systems and environments. CASi provides an abstract framework of components for simulating smart world applications like a smart office or house with ambient sensors and actuators. Agents moving through these application worlds are tracked by sensors and their actions are influenced by actuators, both of which can be programmed to resemble the actual peripherals of the tested system. CASi allows testing ambient, context aware computer systems even in early stages of development without the need for expensive prototyping or real world deployment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
