Tutorial on Object Memory Tools:
Tailoring a Thing’s Data Collection and Communication Behavior

September 24, 2012. Saarbruecken, Germany
In conjunction with the 35th German Conference on Artificial 
Intelligence (KI 2012)

http://www.dfki.de/omm-tools/ki12_tutorial
************************************************************************

The Internet of Things envisions new roles for physical objects in 
everyday life. This tutorial addresses one of these roles – the 
collecting of data, about the objects as well as object-related topics 
such as tasks, processes and even users that came in touch with the 
object. So-called Digital Object Memories address this idea with 
approaches dedicated to data models, architectures and interaction 
methodologies for object-centric data collection. Related research 
comprises application areas such as manufacturing control, monitoring 
integrity in logistics, product stories for retail, and even management 
of personal experiences.

The tutorial "Object Memory Tools" focuses on how to enable a "smart" 
behavior of such data collections. It illustrates approaches to setting 
up an infrastructure needed to host object memories as well as ways to 
install and distribute methods for collecting, processing and 
communicating data. Consequently, the tutorial is meant for researchers 
and developers interested in using distributed Artificial Intelligence 
in the Internet of Things; participants will get introduced into setting 
up, structuring and applying an object memory in a practically-oriented 
application scenario.

*** Date and Format

The tutorial is scheduled for September 24, 2012. It is planned as a 
"half-day tutorial" (3 hours event).

It combines a theoretical introduction into the matter with a practical 
exercise with a given toolset, the object memory tools. Participants 
will get introduced into solving the following tasks:

* How to set up an object memory: the object memory server as an 
infrastructure example
* How to structure an object memory: Format and structuring strategies
* How to use an object memory 1: search and retrieval with the object 
memory API
* How to use an object memory 2: configuring autonomous behavior using rules

*** Schedule

* Talk(s): Introduction to Object Memories
* Practical exercise: Setting up an Object Memory and using data 
input/output methods
* Talk: Retrieval mechanisms – push & poll
* Practical exercise: Using the retrieval mechanisms and setting up 
activity modules
* Discussion and wrap-up

*** Registration

Please follow the registration procedure announced at:

Optional: In addition, the tutorial organizers would kindly ask for a 
short statement of interest via email (e.g., to jens.haupert@dfki.de).
