| Abstract | The paper presents a location-aware communication approach in smart home environments. It is constructed on a symbolic location model to represent the containment relationships between physical objects, computing devices, and places. It enables people and devices to discover and connect with their communication partners according to their co-locations. It also provides non-smart objects, including home appliances, everyday objects, and places, with virtual counterpart, which are not only their representations but also work as proxies of their targets. This paper presents the design for this approach and describes its implementation and applications. |
