Integration of smart-M3 applications: Blogging in smart conference

Abstract

Smart spaces provide a shared view of dynamic resources and context-aware services within a distributed application. There is, however, no standard scheme for integration of several independent applications. In this paper we analyze two particular smart space-based applications: Smart Conference system that assists conferencing process online and SmartScribo system that provides advanced access to the blogosphere. For this reference use case we propose a scheme of their integration that employs an agent to share knowledge between the origin applications. The initial implementation was demonstrated in the 9th FRUCT Conference and indicates the applicability of our approach. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2011.
