Prototyping a meeting support system using ubiquitous agents

The ubiquitous technology attracts attention widely to support people life effectively. However, developing such application systems impose heavy burden to developers because they have to combine very wide fields of technologies such as sensor devices, mechatronics, pattern recognition, machine learning, activity understanding, decision making, etc. In this paper, first, we propose a method to connect device, data and programs to an intelligent agent platform. Next, we describe a ubiquitous system prototype that supports meeting sessions. We have developed this prototype as a test bed. It is is still a small example for testing a ubiquitous agent system, but it has potential ability to support meetings because it favors collaboration between people and ubiquitous agents.
