Abstract

Large-scale ambient intelligence needs the vision of anytimeâ聙聯anywhere to be extended to anytimeâ聙聯anywhereâ聙聯anything (A3). Thus, a mix of computing, communication and interface technologies remain limited in providing seamless access to services if the data and services are non-sharable. This limits us from addressing critical issues such as climate change that require large-scale ambient presence of sensing infrastructures integrated with heterogeneous scientific processes and data sources for monitoring our earth resources consumption and carbon footprints with highest possible resolution. Thus, we propose a smart sensor grid (S2G) infrastructure that forms the key resource sharing backbone and provides secure access to valuable sensor, computational, data and storage resources for supporting large-scale ambient intelligence. A test bed implementation of the proposed framework as an eco-aware work place is also described that provides a sensor grid-based infrastructure for monitoring and minimising resource consumption at individual levels and building eco-aware work place models.
