BLISS-A CPSS-like Application for Lifelong Learning

Abstract

This paper presents a Cyber-Physical-SocialSpace (CPSS)-like application known as BLISS. The system supports a kind of lifelong learning where people who need to be educated have dropped out of school for various reasons but wish to complete their education through individual training. The active components of BLISS called personal assistants are implemented as intelligent agents. The agents' environment consists of three parts - an event-driven BLISS server, a set of personal assistants that will be described in the publication and a School Diary implemented as a blockchain. Furthermore, the reference architecture named Virtual Physical Space (ViPS), used to develop the application, is briefly described.
