The Future • Technologies - what we can do • Desires - what we want • Emerging Technologies - what we think we can do 17-1
The Future • Problems - what we can't do or must fix • Regulations - what we're allowed to do • Standards - how we will do it collectively • Challenges - what else?
Database Support • Lots of sensor data • Collect & assimilate • Predict, decide, trigger events • Multimedia • How can this all be done efficiently? 17-2
Complex Predictions • Point is to relieve us of some burdens • Have coffee ready • Adjust thermostat • Turn on computer & have my email ready • These things are relatively easy! 17-3
Complex Predictions • Learn patterns - predict location & activity • Not stagnant, change • Interactions • Multiple inhabitants • Takes data + algorithms
Robotic Assistants • Smart environment not necessarily a stationary entity • Robotic Agents, aka Robots • Clean & cook • Repair work • Deliver in office 17-4
Network Support • Must have continuous connectivity for data collection & exchange among devices • Devices are mobile & stationary • Different technologies • Cable, DSL, 802.11, etc. • Heterogeneous devices 17-5
Increased Scope • Single, confined space • Entire home with robots • Connected to me when I'm not home 17-6
Increased Scope • Communities • Schools • Hospitals • Shopping center • Highways • Airports …
