Abstract

Using Semantic Transformers to Enable Interoperability between Media Devices in a Ubiquitous Computing Environment

“…We first define isAcceptedMediaTypeOf as the inverse property of acceptsMediaType, and then define the following property chain: This allows us to match media types between smart objects. We can then infer a media path between the mobile device and the Bonding Device with the Sound/Light KP acting as a semantic transformer using another property chain: 5 The concatenation of two relations R and S is expressible by R • S, while R S indicates that R is a subset of S G . Niezen, B. van der vlist, J. Hu, and L. M. G. Feijs, "Using semantic transformers to enable interoperability between media devices in a ubiquitous computing environment, The end result is that the Bonding Device responds to the mobile device's media events (based on the Semantic Connections connectedTo relationship), but uses the Sound/Light KP as a media source for generating dynamic lighting.…”

“…The actual configuration of the devices, i.e., matching device capabilities, transforming content or information to the format that is accepted by the receiving device and negotiating passwords and permissions should happen automatically, based on the user's goals and the constraints of the environment. Our earlier work on mapping the user needs to the actual configurations of the devices uses an heuristic approach at mostly syntactic level [5][6][7]. In this work this is improved by the semantic transformers.…”

A Distributed Multi-agent Architecture in Simulation Based Medical Training

“…The final system is simply an IPML actor, or in other words, an Actor implementation that is capable of presenting the IPML scripts. The IPML actor implements the role of a Director , which has a mapping engine [20], creates, manages and connects the virtual actors, and has a timing engine which schedules the timed actions for the delegating virtual actors ( fig. 5).…”

Synchronizable Objects in Distributed Multimedia Applications

“…In the EU funded project ICE-CREAM we investigated how to make compelling experiences for end-users based on the possibilities of integrating technologies for interactive media, for example, DVB-MHP, MPEG-4, 3D graphics and Internet technologies [17,18]. Technological options that address different levels of interactivity for end-users were investigated and implemented in prototypes.…”
