`Programmable Pervasive Spaces
`ABSTRACT: Pervasive computing environments have recently been explored trough a series of university and
`industry research
`prototypes. Many of them emphasized the “calmness” requirement of the technology and the “predictability” of the
`environment
`behavior and interaction. By carefully integrating sensors, computers, devices and networks, it was possible to craft
`the first
`generation of pervasive environments, also referred to by the research community as “integrated environments”.
`In this talk I will describe our efforts in middleware design that aim at shifting the pervasive computing paradigm
`from
`“integrated environments” to “programmable spaces”. I will present “Matilda Smart House”, a pervasive
`environment to achieve
`successful aging and independence that we have developed following the integrated environment approach. I will
`then present the
`programmable space approach and middleware based on a simple sensors-actuators-contexts model. I will revisit
`“Matilda Smart
`House” that we recently remodeled as a highly programmable space. Finally, I will address the main issues and
`enablers necessary
`to take pervasive computing and its applications from the confines of research laboratories to a multi-billion dollar
`mainstream
`industry.
`The research I will present is currently being funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institute on
`Disabilities and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), the Veteran Administration, and Intel Corporation.
`ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
`Dr. Sumi Helal is a Professor at the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Department (CISE) at the
`University of
`Florida. His research interests span the areas of Pervasive Computing, Mobile Computing and networking and
`Internet Computing.
`He directs the Mobile and Pervasive Computing Laboratory and leads the technology development of the NIDRR-
`funded
`Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Successful Aging (RERC). He is cofounder and Director of the
`Gator Tech Smart
`House, an experimental home for applied pervasive computing research in the domain of elder care. Additionally, he
`is founder,
`President and CEO of Phoneomena, Inc., a mobile application and middleware company, and President of Pervasa,
`Inc., a University
`of Florida start-up focused on platform and middleware products for sensor networks.
`Outside of his teaching and research, Dr. Helal is a co-founder and an editorial board member of the IEEE Pervasive
`Computing magazine. He is the Editor of the magazine's column on Standards, Tools and Emerging Technologies.
`He is also an
`
`

`
`Associate Editor of the IEEE Transaction on Mobile Computing. He has published over 200 books, book chapters,
`journal articles,
`and conference or workshop papers. He is a Senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
`(IEEE), and a
`member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the USENIX Association.
`Born in Suez, Egypt, Dr. Helal earned his B.E. and M.E. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from
`Alexandria
`University, Egypt, in 1982 and 1985 respectively. He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from Purdue
`University in 1991.
`Before joining the University of Florida, he held academic and industrial research positions at MCC, Purdue
`University and the
`University of Texas at Arlington.
