Abstract

In this paper a task modeling approach is presented which tackles the integration of different kinds of models by a generic framework. The application of the framework is shown for collaborative environments, a certain sub set of ubiquitous computing environments. In these environments tasks have a close bond to the location of the executing actor as well the state of the involved objects. Therefore a location specification and a domain model are used to constrain the task execution. The language is supported by a tool, the CTML editor and simulator, which covers all steps of development from creation, editing, testing and verification. Such a model is particularly from interest for the intention recognition module of our experimental infrastructure of a collaborative environment.
