Abstract

In the ubiquitous computing environment (UCE), how to seamlessly provision the service or application to its occupant or its mobile user is an interesting research topic. This paper introduces our two UCEs called smart classroom (SCR) and intelligent meeting room (IMR) respectively. When a teacher gives his lesson in the SCR, different services will automatically be provisioned to him according to captured context information. When the users with various kinds of portable devices, such as PDA, mobile phone or laptop, attend a meeting in IMR, they can easily organize a meeting and unobtrusively access the services provided by IMR, for example, they could give presentation by "projector service". The paper also describes the software infrastructure of SCR and IMR - smart platform, a multi agents (MAs) system.
