MACC'97 Session: Mobile Agent and its Application
We are researching an integration of the real world environment and information worlds, personalization of information systems, and effective information presentations for mobile computers. Our testbed is a campus navigation system that provides information about the facilities and activities of a University campus environment according to the user's physical location and individual needs. Our prototype system uses a Global Positioning System and infrared location beacons for location detection. It can be personalized for the user by using user-specific information about her interests and preferences. The system is situation-aware and presents user-dependent information to guide the user in the physical environments.
