WIT

Infrastructure

How can we overcome the lack of Smart Space management infrastructure to support converged IPv6 networks?

Telecommunication Management

How do we manage interoperability to provide seamless roaming for users and resources?

Information Modelling

Personal Information Management in Pervasive Environments

Policies

dynamic adaptation of security policies in pervasive environments, with contextual information as the catalyst

Resource Control

Task management for pervasive environments

TCD

Adaptive Behaviour

The level to which adaptive behaviour of ubiquitous computing systems can be constrained to meet to needs of users, individually and collectively

Knowledge-based Systems

The level to which the inherent heterogeneity of ubiquitous computing systems can be overcome by knowledge-based systems engineering

Ontology

Interest: using ontologies, reasoners etc in building smart spaces

Challenge: applying ontologies in a way that is useful for building smart spaces for effective use of runtime intelligence

CIT

Adaptive Mechanisms

Which adaptive mechanisms are most suited to enabling a self-configuring and self-optimising smart space communication infrastructure whilst considering operator and user requirements?

Miniaturisation

What is the extend by which miniaturised sensor networks can support knowledge engineering?

Technologies

Which technologies are suitable for deployment, discovery, and delivery of services in ubiquitous computing environments?
