NeTS-NR: Economics Mechanisms for Networks

无线射频识别（RFID）有望成为一种重要的、无处不在的基础设施技术。基于RFID技术的科学和工程，设想了一种新的空间形式“动画空间”，以弥合物理世界和数字世界之间的差距，在这种空间中，现实世界的物体可以与用户交流，以传达它们的目的、功能和历史。动画空间允许人们在空间中进行互动，并提供及时和额外的信息，这将加强人类活动，并通过将信息与物体和地点联系起来，帮助发展兴趣和讨论小组。为动画空间设计的基于网络的中间件ASPEN使网络基础设施能够将存储在动画空间中的信息传递给移动用户。ASPEN的一些独特功能包括：1)创建智能对象的创新机制；2)与智能对象和智能设备交互的协议；3)使用同步和异步点对点通信与其他用户共享信息；4)根据用户和设备配置文件进行内容交付的面向对象组件模型；5)动态和智能内容适应技术；6)各种格式、阅读级别和检索的高效信息存储。动画空间可能导致潜在的非常有效的信息演变类型，它可以补充其他信息模型，并可以在各种环境中接触到各种各样的人。这项工作将在教育（例如非正式学习、专业和技术学习以及向残疾人提供内容等特殊教育）和安全（例如在使用多种设备的紧急救济情况下，这些设备的互操作性将是有益的）等领域具有巨大的造福社会的潜力。

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is expected to become an important and ubiquitous infrastructure technology. Based on the science and engineering of RFID technology, a new form of space "Animated Space" is envisioned to bridge the gap between physical and digital world in which real-world objects can communicate with users in order to convey their purpose, function, and history. Animated Space allows interaction of people in the space and provides timely and additional information, which will enhance human activities and help in developing interest and discussion groups by associating information with objects and places. The designed network-based middleware for animated spaces, ASPEN, empowers the network infrastructure to deliver the information stored in the animated space to mobile users. Some of the unique features of ASPEN include: 1) the innovative mechanism for creating smart objects, 2) protocol for interaction with smart objects and smart devices, 3) sharing of information with other users using synchronous and asynchronous peer-to-peer communication, 4) object-oriented component model for content delivery depending upon user and device profile, 5) dynamic and intelligent content adaptation techniques and 6) efficient information storage in various formats, and reading levels and its retrieval. The animated space can lead to potentially very effective type of information evolution that can complement other information models and can reach a wide variety of people across a spectrum of settings. The work will have enormous potential to benefit society in areas such as education (e.g., informal learning, professional and technical learning, and special education such as delivery of content to people with disabilities) and safety (e.g. in emergency relief cases where multiple devices are used and interoperability of these devices would be beneficial).
