Abstract

We describe a platform for context-aware computing which enables applications to follow mobile users as they move around a building.The platform is particularly suitable for richly equipped, networked environments.The only item a user is required to carry is a small sensor tag, which identifies them to the system and locates them accurately in three dimensions.The platform builds a dynamic model of the environment using these location sensors and resource information gathered by telemetry software, and presents it in a form suitable for application programmers.Use of the platform is illustrated through a practical example, which allows a user's current working desktop to follow them as they move around the environment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
