Title: Making Bits and Atoms Talk Today – A Practical Architecture for Smart Object Interaction

Authors: Jo Vermeulen, Ruben Thys, Kris Luyten and Karin Coninx

Overview figure for "Making Bits and Atoms Talk Today" paper at DIPSO 2007

Abstract:
Bringing together the physical and digital worlds has been the subject of research for some time now. In particular, a number of successful prototypes that link physical objects with digital information (often called smart object systems) have already been presented. However, a generally accepted architecture to design such systems has not yet emerged. This paper presents a reusable and practical framework for developing smart object applications today. At the basis of our approach lies the use of Semantic Web technology to drive interaction between the physical and digital worlds. We used this framework
to develop SemaNews, a novel application that combines the advantages of digital news feeds with those of physical newspapers. We prove that our architecture is reusable by building a second prototype in a different application domain: STalkingObjects implements the basic components of a store of the future.

WoSSIoT’07 paper accepted

On Monday I got the notification that our submission for WoSSIoT’07 was accepted. This means I have to travel to Lisbon and Salamanca (for EIS 2007) in the same week

The paper is titled Tangible Mashups: Exploiting Links between the Physical and Virtual World. More details on my publications page.

EIS 2007 program available

A preliminary program for EIS 2007 is online. I will be presenting in the session on Models for Reasoning from 09:00 to 13:00 on Saturday, March 24.

We sent in the camera-ready version of our paper yesterday, after an unpleasant experience with trying to convert our original LaTeX version to a Word document. Fortunately, it took us less time than expected thanks to Yves who wrote a few Word macros to help with the conversion.

I’m looking forward to the conference. The list of accepted papers seems interesting.

EIS 2007 paper accepted!

Yesterday, we were informed that the paper we submitted for Engineering Interactive Systems 2007 was accepted. It’s also my first publication where I’m the first author

The paper describes a way to augment semantic service descriptions with high-level user interface models. The resulting service description is called a service-interaction description. This approach allows a service to present a suitable user interface (for interacting with it) on a wide variety of target platforms. We also introduce a semantic network built on top of the UIML vocabulary. More on that in a later post.

More details about the paper can be found at my publications page.

CADUI 2006

This week, I was in Bucharest for CADUI 2006. I presented the demo paper Kris, Kristof and I submitted for the conference (A Generic Approach for Multi-Device User Interface Rendering with UIML). Actually I am still in Bucharest at the moment, tomorrow I’m flying back to Belgium.

CADUI was the first conference I ever attended. At first, I didn’t really know what to expect, but it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. I met a lot of nice people, and saw interesting talks. CADUI is a very friendly conference, which resulted in a comfortable atmosphere that only further fueled the interaction.

After the last presentation today, there were books handed out from Springer-Verlag for the best paper and best talk, and also a lottery giving away another four books amongst the participants of the conference. The best paper was A Generic Approach for Pen-based User Interface Development by S. Mancé and E. Anquetil, which describes a pretty impressive system.

First I won a book from the lottery, and then I also got the best talk award! So my backpack is going to be a bit heavier on the way back I guess
