Preliminary Specification of Basic Services and Protocols
Blair, G.; Brudna, C.; Cahill, V.; Casimiro, António; Cunningham, R.; Duran-Limon, H.; Kaiser, J.; Martins, Pedro; Veríssimo, PauloThe objective of D5 is to provide a preliminary definition of basic services and protocols that will be necessary to program CORTEX applications made of sentient objects. Furthermore, the aim of D5 is also to provide an architectural view of the possible composition of services and relations among them. In this view, some services are intended to facilitate communication with certain required properties, others...
The CORTEX Programming Model
Biegel, G.; Blair, G.; Brudna, C.; Cahill, V.; Casimiro, António; Clarke, S.; Duran-Limon, H.; Fitzpatrick, A.; Friday, A.; Hughes, B.; Kaiser, J.The objective of D6 is to design a programming model suitable for the development of proactive applications constructed from mobile sentient objects. D6 embodies the final deliverable and follows its predecessor deliverable D2, the preliminary definition of the CORTEX programming model. It outlines our definition of sentient objects and describes how an application developer may program them in a context aware ...
Proof-of-concept prototypes
Cahill, V.; Casimiro, António; Kaiser, J.; Martins, Pedro; Reynolds, V.; Sousa, Paulo; Veríssimo, Paulo; Wu, M.Deliverable D7 consists of a set of proof-of-concept prototypes that illustrate some particular solutions developed within CORTEX. Moreover, the objective of these proof-of-concept prototypes is to provide technology demonstrators for the technologies developed and used within CORTEX. These proof-of concept prototypes will also provide input for the definition of application demonstrators. The deliverable inclu...
Definition of Application Scenarios
Biegel, G.; Blair, G.; Cahill, V.; Casimiro, António; Cheverst, K.; Cunningham, R.; Fitzpatrick, A.; Friday, A.; Gaertner, G.; Hughes, B.; Kaiser, J.The objective of D1 is to identify and analyse a set of application scenarios that, on the one hand, exemplify those application areas that might benefit from the technology being developed within the CORTEX project and, on the other hand, might serve as a source of requirements on this technology. Furthermore, at least a subset of the application scenarios considered here is expected to serve as source of demo...
Preliminary definition of CORTEX programming model
Barron, P.; Biegel, G.; Cahill, V.; Casimiro, António; Clarke, S.; Cunningham, R.; Fitzpatrick, A.; Gaertner, G.; Hughes, B.; Kaiser, J.; Meier, R.The objective of D2 is to design a preliminary programming model suitable for the development of proactive applications constructed from mobile sentient objects. D2 embodies an early deliverable that will be followed in the second half of the project by its successor deliverable D6, the final definition of the CORTEX programming model. It outlines our definition of sentient objects and describes how an applicat...
Preliminary definition of CORTEX system architecture
Brudna, C.; Cahill, V.; Casimiro, António; Cunningham, R.; Kaiser, J.; Meier, R.; Veríssimo, PauloThe objective of D4 is to present a preliminary definition of the CORTEX system architecture. Given the early progress stage of work package 3, and being this a deliverable comprising preliminary results, it mainly focus on the components that are necessary to implement the communication abstractions developed in WP2, that is, the work developed under task 3.1. Following the WAN-of-CAN structure envisaged in CO...
CORTEX: Towards Supporting Autonomous and Cooperating Sentient Objects
Veríssimo, Paulo; Cahill, V.; Casimiro, António; Cheverst, K.; Friday, A.; Kaiser, J.We are now at the point where the emergence of a new class of applications that operate independently of direct human control can be envisaged. However, this is also the crossroads between the requirements put on system support, by the advances of research on high-level models for this class of applications--- e.g. on autonomous agents and distributed AI--- and the shortcomings of current architectures and midd...
