Distributed Agents Network for Ubiquitous Monitoring and Services Exploitation

Many application contexts noways are characterized by pervasiveness of embedded systems in crowded environments of everyday life. To accomplish common requirements ubiquitous computing must address many issues such as communication among users, services and sensors, security, interoperability, collection of information and context representation. Here we present a distributed solutions based on autonomous agents which represent the connection between services and services extensions, implemented by pervasive sensors and actuators. We focus on supervision and control of human activities, which can be automatically assisted. In particular we developed a prototype application that allow to check the compliance with safety standards of working activities in a constructing site.
