Abstract

The rapid increase in the number and variety of consumer-level electronic devices without the corresponding development of device management technology has lead to a configuration nightmare. We propose to use goal-oriented programming over a substrate of network-portable objects to help reduce the amount of configuration users must do in order to have their applications use their devices efficiently. We detail an architecture and describe a prototype system using existing pervasive computing technology that plays music on the most appropriate devices without requiring user interaction and configuration.
