Developing a theory and practise of pervasive information capture, processing, visualization and documentation

Abstract

Developing a theoretical framework for pervasive information environments is an enormous goal. This paper aims to provide a small step towards such a goal. The following pages report on our initial investigations to devise a framework that will continue to support locative, experiential and evaluative data from 'user feedback' in an increasingly pervasive information environment. We loosely attempt to outline this framework by developing a methodology capable of moving from rapid-deployment of software and hardware technologies, towards a goal of realistic immersive experience of pervasive information. We propose various technical solutions and address a range of problems such as; information capture through a novel model of sensing, processing, visualization and cognition.

Integration of a 2D legacy GIS, legacy simulations, and legacy databases into a 3D geographic simulation

“…They are currently providing a variety of functions required by current system development requirements. In the former SIGDOC conference, research on documentation systems indicated that documentation from multiple writers had to be integrated to create a new documentation [19] [16]. We believe that this is the same situation on legacy systems from multiple developers.…”
