The document discusses Sense, a software platform that uses sensors and networked intelligence to improve human communication and coordination through situational awareness. It does this by collecting data from various sensors like those in smartphones, sensor nodes, and other IoT devices; analyzing the sensor data; and sharing useful information with other connected platforms and devices. Some key applications mentioned are determining a user's reachability, location, and activities using sensors to better communicate and coordinate with others.

1. Sensors are everywhere Steven Mulder [email_address]

3. Many networking options

6. Smart sharing of useful information

7. Don't depend on having 1 perfect sensor Sense aims to improve human communication and coordination by achieving situational awareness through:

10. Location of the user

11. Activities (in general) of the user

14. Share information with other people when this is useful

15. Support and coordinate human communication and transactions

17. Linked to external world via smartphones

18. Does sensing and actuation

19. Preprocesses sensed data

21. Remembers, combines, analyzes sensor data

22. Also interacts with other platforms (e.g. ASK) Sense delivers a development platform consisting of two parts: Local applications CommonSense Other platforms

24. immediately notice abnormal behavior

25. minimize coordination problems between links

27. up and running within hours

29. works with pre-existing infrastructure

30. flexibility for scaling/updating

32. Location-based time registration (Regas)

33. Sharing reachability status via webservice (ASK)

34. Indoor localization Looking for more!

36. Observe and predict if / when a user can be reached.

37. Automatically pick the right communication channels. Already in a call, arrange callback? Too noisy to talk, send SMS? Not near phone, call a friend?

40. Calendar

41. MyriaNed sensor nodes

42. GSM cell towers

43. Known Wi-Fi access points

44. Other users Bringing the kids to school, back in 20 minutes. In traffic, will be 30 minutes late for the meeting. Having a walk in the park, everything is fine.

46. Check with user or other devices for feedback. Having a 10 minute rest stop Attending G20 summit with Barack and Angela Measuring a patient's blood pressure

48. Share sensor data with neighboring devices

49. Combine multi-modal sensor signals Does anyone know where we are? No problem! I have GPS. I think I heard something fall. I just hit some- thing hard! I could call the neighbours... Something just moved. I heard breaking glass! The light was switched on. Something is moving.

51. Help the user in smart ways Hello, I am here for a meeting with Mr. Lee That's my guy! I'll send you his business card. You just bought toma- toes, pasta, chips... OK, I will scratch those off the grocery list and notify Mrs. Carrot. Careful! You are moving away from the nearest CPR-person.
