SmartRoom Files

PetrSU smart room (SR) is for holding conferences, meetings, lectures, 
trainings, and some other activities important for the university research
and education processes. SR system provides a set of services that 
simplifies activity organization and participation as well as automates 
technical functions of information acquisition, sharing and transformation. 

SR system is based on the service set principle. Any service is implemented 
as a smart space agent that performs functions on client demand and/or 
provides information related to specific component of the room. 
The service set principle implies that some set of services are available 
at the moment and are offered to participants in the room. Every service 
can be accessed from client agent installed on user mobile devices.

The smart room service set consists of several services.
- Base services define base activity modes: conference, meeting, lecture.
- Discussion services support online blog-based discussions 
  during the activity.
- Sensor services feed the SR space with sensed information 
  about physical parameters of the room (temperature, 
  noise and illumination levels, presence of end-user mobile devices, etc.).
- World information services feed the SR space with information 
  contextually accessed from global sources (web services, 
  public data bases, etc.)
- Activity tracking services accumulate the history, 
  which can be further analyzed to make statistical descriptions 
  and to produce various kinds of reports.
