2. cogma : A Mobile Code Middleware for Ad hoc Networks and Ubiquitous Environment Nobuo Kawaguchi http://www.cogma.org/ 21 st Century Center of Excellence, （ 2002— 2007 ） Information Technology Center, Nagoya University

3. Various services are embedded in the environment User can use them intuitively Coming soon!? A Middleware for various devices There are requirements for Ubiquitous Computing Environment

4. Ubiquitous Environment Many kind of information network devices –Sensors, Actuators, Servers, Terminals At any place, huge number of information devices –invisible information devices Services are implemented by cooperation of several devices –Context (place ・ environment) aware services Calm Computing –User does not required to understand the usage

5. To realize ubiquitous environment 1. Handle unpredictable dynamic change (addition/ deletion) of devices - Continue to serve cooperative service - Continue to serve cooperative service 2. Inter-device cooperation between devices which do not know about each other - Every year, new device comes. - Every year, new device comes. 3. Heterogeneous device/ network 4. Simplify the usage of the services 5. Reduction of environmental load by information devices

6. Middleware solution To satisfy the requirements some smart architecture is required. We have developed a middleware named “cogma” for easy development of cooperative device software.

7. Features of cogma Multiple Platform –Most of CPU/ OS （ Java ／ VP ） Multiple Network / Protocol –TCP/IP (Wireless, Ethernet), HTTP –Serial Dynamic Transfer of Software –Dynamic update Small Resource / Hardware –Less memory and High performance with VP

8. Agent System Embedded Manager Link Manager Application Agents Agent Manager Protocol Agents TCP Manager Ir Manager Control Agent Sensor Agent Management of Links Management of Codget Management of Embedded device Each module is implemented as Mobile Agent Structure of cogma Architecture

9. Target of cogma architecture Human to human communication support –Ad-hoc communication Human to Environment comm. support –Multimedia meeting support Inter device communication support –to provide a device cooperative ubiquitous service

10. Running Environment of Java based cogma OS:Windows, Linux, MacOS, PocketPC Language ： Java （ JDK1.1.8) or Higher PersonalJava/ J2ME Code Size ： Number of Files ２２０ Number of Files ２２０ Number of Classes ４２５ Number of Classes ４２５ Number of Lines ４５０００ lines Number of Lines ４５０００ lines Bytecode size about ６６０ Kbyte Bytecode size about ６６０ Kbyte

11. Design Concept of cogma Agent Networks Mobile Applications Intelligent Agents Application for supporting ad-hoc communications Construct a context aware ad-hoc network Smart agent technology for supporting calm computing

12. In the office Smart agent autonomously moves to PDA (Transfer a meeting data) Intelligent smart agent based on mobile software Let’s go to meeting! move to

13. In the meeting room Automatically transfer and present the data. Transfer the data to participants! Hey!

14. In the home At the home, prepare for tomorrow based on schedule. Tomorrow’s agenda will … It was hard day.. I’m Home!

15. cogma Applications VPcogmaSmartRoom Smart Meetings

16. Cooperation with industry

17. VPcogma ＶＰ = Virtual Processor –Works on multiple CPU/ OS Win32 / PocketPC/ Linux / T-Engine –High-speed using translator technology Ｊａｖａ： –High productivity –Resource requirement is also high ＶＰ： –Need to develop in “C” –Low cost （ less memory ・ small CPU) Runs on intent (TAO corp. in UK)

18. Running Environment of ＶＰ cogma Windows PC Intel x86 1GHz Memory 512Mbyte Pocket PC XScale 400MHz Memory 32Mbyte

19. Running Environment of ＶＰ cogma T-Engine SH-3 96MHz Memory 8Mbyte

20. Running Environment of ＶＰ cogma OpenBlocks Linux PowerPC 405GP 200MHz Memory 64Mbyte

21. Running Environment of VPcogma VR4181A (Mips) 130MHz Memory 32Mbyte Linux

22. Requirements for Test bed Test in Real World Environment is required –Exemplify the usefulness –Cooperation of Appliances –Heterogeneous Networks –Long-term experiments Construct a Smart Room

23. Construction of the Smart Room ( ２００２～ ) Heterogeneous Network A lot of devices are Embedded in the room

34. Found a venture company There is a HUGE gap called “Death Valley” between academic research and real world application or industries. To overcome the gap, we found the a venture company named “Ubigraph Co.Ltd” http://www.ubigraph.com/ Only in Japanese, sorry productresearch

35. Conclusion A Mobile code middleware named ”cogma” helps to construct ubiquitous society. We have built “cogma room” to exemplify the middleware and applications. Found a venture company to deploy the software and ubiquitous solutions. http://www.cogma.org/
