Abstract
A significant challenge ofAmbient Intelligence (AmI) systems and applications, such as smart meeting environments, is how to assist the user unobtrusively by using ubiquitous information technologies and computing capabilities. Furthermore, the user should be able to integrate his personal mobile devices into the existing device ensemble of the environment to create a coherent ad-hoc ensemble. Hence, these systems require inter alia a dynamic strategy synthesis that fulfills inferred user’s intention and integrates components seamlessly. Multi-Agent systems support such kind of dynamic system behavior, so that we assume that it is a suitable paradigm to model strategy synthesis in these environments.
In spite of several solutions for different planning problems in smart meeting environments, a concrete domain specification and a combination of these solutions are still unavailable. This doctoral paper describes the current research and explains how the author’s PhD topic fits into this research area.
