Abstract
Software Platform is a middleware component of Smart Space to coordinate and manage all modules. Location-awareness is a common feature of many modules. Current several typical methods for distributed systems can hardly be competent for both the role of Software Platform and accommodating location-awareness simultaneously. Aiming at this, we present our method: SLAP (Smart Location-awareness-Accommodating Platform). The method, on the basis of OAA (Open Agent Architecture), adopts such new technologies as Poll-Ack mechanism, dual-central coupling model and hybrid architecture. Consequently it not only reserves the advantages of OAA to coordinate multi-modal modules efficiently and flexibly, but also accommodates location-aware computing well.
