Spontaneous Service Provision in Cyber-Physical Interaction Environments

Abstract

In the advent of the future Internet environment, where many sensors, smart objects and personal devices are interconnected through high-bandwidth networks, we are envisioning a new service infrastructure where services from the physical world and cyber space are fused together to bring more proactive and sustainable features to the users. Under the infrastructure, a user's situation in the physical world is recognized via the rich contextual information gathered by using many sensors and by interpreting various social relationships. Value-added services then can be identified and composed in the cyber space and brought to the user spontaneously and proactively for the situation.
