Motivation I wanted to: build something cool be challenged use skills & talents play around with technologies (SOA, ODBMS, P2P, AJAX) be involved with IM & VoIP

I wanted to:

build something cool

be challenged

use skills & talents

play around with technologies (SOA, ODBMS, P2P, AJAX)

Vision depending on a set of parameters system (on personal device) knows about communication needs and presents appropriate tool support observes user during operation learns from experience connected to sensors interface to "standard" existing communication infrastructure task: design and implement a framework for integrated communication management

depending on a set of parameters system (on personal device) knows about communication needs and presents appropriate tool support

observes user during operation

learns from experience

connected to sensors

interface to "standard" existing communication infrastructure

task: design and implement a framework for integrated communication management

How does it work? Infrastructure real Sensor (Web Service) real Tool (Skype) Rule data: Action, Tool, … Rule db4o Tool Contact data RuleBase data: Rules Sensor internal Sensor (beacon) Tool Event flare() RuleBase

Demo sample sensors: timestamp beacon, active Google Calendar events sample tools: Skype, email (local client & GMail), SMS gateway sample IO: AJAX GUI sample rule base with 4 rules: if ( Sensor.Time.timestamp % 10 == 0 ) { Tool.Skype.presence.set(DO_NOT_DISTURB) } if ( Sensor.Time.timestamp % 60 == 0 ) { Tool.GMail.send( toContact, subject, message ) } foreach (Sensor.GoogleCalendar.events as event) { if ( event.isRightNow ) { Tool.SMS.send( toContact, message ) } } foreach (Sensor.GoogleCalendar.events as event) { if ( event.title.contains ( "conference" ) ) { Tool.Skype.conference.start( participant[] ) } } rule-logic just a sample, means it’s totally up to you what you implement (e.g. imagine your own formal-rule-language or an AI-based rule base)
