Dissertation Progress – Day 28

By Jon Perry | Published June 29, 2014

Tasks complete today: Added Pi4J API libraries to client project in Netbeans. Installed WinSCP to deploy JAR files – have successfully connected to RPi 2 using FTP (I think it’s using that connection type?). When running the AmI System (temperature mode), it occurred to me both Pi’s breadboard sensors must be setup identically. I have […]

Dissertation Progress – Day 27

By Jon Perry | Published June 28, 2014

Tasks complete today: Created x3 new Servlet classes – Temperature, Atmosphere, NetworkedDevices. Soldered digital temperature sensor for RPi 2. Configured i2c module – ‘i2cdetect -y 1’ command has detected it [temperature sensor]. Displays port number including ‘UU’ – assume it has been set aside for use by the Raspbian OS kernel. Not sure it’s attributed […]

‘Multiple-Agent Perspectives in Reasoning About Situations for Context-Aware Pervasive Computing Systems’ (Notes)

By Jon Perry | Published June 26, 2014

Overview x2 challenges: 1) Representing context and situations in a unifying model (incl. reasoning about context under uncertainty). 2) Enhancing context awareness in distributed, open, multi-agent pervasive systems by dynamically updating context models and merging perspectives of different entities into a single context representation. Motivating Use Case Agents capable of independently reasoning about their context […]
