Abstract

The conception and development of pervasive systems, i.e, the systems which will be used in pervasive computing environments, involve interdisciplinary team work. Apparently, the team consists of people with a diverse research background and expertise. While such a composition is an essential prerequisite to solve real world problems, it brings with it also challenges that should be dealt with. To begin with, team members should establish a shared understanding of what should be done. This understanding includes the terminologies that are used as well as the expected project goals. Secondly, there has to be a division of task and a clear plan as to how different components or building blocks should come together to make up a unified, consistent, side-effect free and wholesome system. In this paper we discuss the development of the Senceive System within a graduate project course work. The project work involves students from computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering. Technically, the Senceive System offers a step-wise abstraction of low-level concerns (sensing) from higher-level use of meaningful features.
