Abstract

In this paper, a concept of "symbiotic computing" is formalized to bridge an e-Gap between Real Space (RS) and Digital Space (DS). The symbiotic computing is a post ubiquitous computing model based on an agent-oriented computing model to bring in social heuristics and cognitivefunctions into DS to bridge the e-Gap. The symbiotic computing provides a cyberspace into which RS andDS are integrated through an e-Bridge, where we can receive the benefits easily and safely without IT skills. The last section of this paper describes an agent-based support system for home-based teleworkers designed based on the model.
