This application is a pervasive Farkle game (a form of dice game) that is enhanced by activity recognition.
We have described and characterized the implementation of a pervasive gaming application using Titan, a pervasive Farkle game relying on Titan nodes containing acceleration sensors placed on body and in smart dice.
We base the system evaluation on an exemplary activity-aware application: a pervasive Farkle game: A number of children meet on the schoolyard and decide they want to play a game with smart objects surrounding them and their on-body sensors.
The contribution of this paper is: the methodology and its application to evaluate a pervasive health game called SpaPlay (Seif El-Nasr et al., 2011).
With the development of sensor technology and embedded systems, building large-scale, low-cost sensor networks, which is a critical step to facilitating the application of pervasive sensing in the future, becomes possible.
The most challenging ideas are currently found in the application of mobile, ubiquitous, pervasive, contextualized and seamless technologies for education, which we shall refer to as pervasive education.
The second of these principles is the principle of volatility; this principle establishes that pervasive systems must accept that the number of users, devices and applications intervening in a pervasive environment is unpredictable.
The wide application of pervasive computing technology has allowed for the emergence of big data on spatial behavior and therefore provides an opportunity to explore dynamic urban space.
These concepts provided the foundation for what has become Enterprise 2.0, the application of technologies for pervasive communication, collaboration and social media to business.
The implementation section of this article describes how the context reasoning component employee different level of reasoning techniques such as knowledge acquisition, context based rule execution and the application of ontology in pervasive computing.
