Visual design of service deployment in complex physical environments

ABSTRACT

In this paper we discuss the problem of deploying appliances for interactive services in complex physical environments using a knowledge based approach to define the relations between the environment and the services, and a visual interface to check the associated constraints, in order to design a solution satisfactory for the user.
