Smart Environments are increasingly composed from individual components ("smart appliances") that have to assemble
themselves into a coherently acting ensemble. This requires software technologies that enable appliances to cooperate
spontaneously on behalf of the user’s needs.
In this paper we will illustrate why a goal based approach is reasonable and how explicit goals can be used to find
system comprehensive strategies and how explicit declarative goals could be used as a benchmark to evaluate the
system design. |
