Abstract

Ubiquitous data acquisition/access environments are dynamic because the number and kinds of devices used to access information are constantly changing. System designers must often identify and incorporate devices and implement ad-hoc application systems based on the environment to execute tasks. The constant change in the environment and the huge number of devices make it difficult and time-consuming for system designers to construct application systems using existing programming styles. We propose a system construction platform based on a relational database mechanism. Devices and the functions are regarded as tables, tuples, and SQL queries. This platform makes it easy to manage huge numbers of devices in a ubiquitous data acquisition/access environment and provides a method of ad-hoc system construction that is accessible to many devices and can accommodate their functions.
