Extending Intelligent Space with Ubiquitous Computing Technology: the Rich Servants Service Model

With the rapid development of embedded system, distributed and mobile computing technologies, more and more intelligent space are establishing around us, such as smart meeting room, smart home, intelligent museum, digital library and so on. Meanwhile, ubiquitous computing has received an intensive interest in the past years. Many models have been proposed. How to utilize these models to enhance those intelligent spaces is a challenging research problem. We have introduced the prototype of rich servants service (RSS) model (Shi et al., 2007). In this paper, we will extend the RSS model to fulfill those intelligent spaces. The model defines elements, interfaces, agents, services discovery and other facts related to the system. Through a case, we show how to combine the RSS model with real-world applications.
