AbstractThis project is developing the scientific and engineering foundations to enable automated support of user-centered activities where a computing infrastructure, which is largely transparent to the user, is used to enhance a users ability to carry out every-day tasks. Focusing on non-computer centric environments such as home environments, the project builds on the notion of task-driven computing to design, implement, and evaluate a general platform on which many activity-based applications can be easily built and integrated. Specifically, it is creating new principles, algorithms, and design frameworks to enable flexible integration, adaptation and configuration of emerging pervasive computing devices and services; new techniques for ensuring the robustness of heterogeneous, dynamically-changing configurations of pervasive services in unpredictable environments; and new ways to think about and implement systems in which computing augments and complements ordinary human activities, rather than requiring humans to map their needs into computer-centric applications.This research has the potential for three significant broad impacts. (1) It will extend the reach of integrated computer support for activities that critically affect non-computer users in environments where computing support has not been broadly accessible (such as in the home); (2) It will help decrease the gap between what ordinary users need from computing systems to improve their daily lives, and what is now provided by current computer-centric technology; (3) It will reduce the complexity of deploying and using emerging pervasive computing technology, while at the same time improving its predictability and robustness.

Abstractthis项目正在开发科学和工程基础，以实现以用户为中心的活动的自动支持，在这些活动中，计算基础架构在很大程度上透明了用户，用于增强用户执行每日任务的能力。该项目着重于非计算机以家庭环境（例如家庭环境），建立在任务驱动的计算概念上，以设计，实施和评估一个通用平台，在该平台上可以轻松地构建和集成许多基于活动的应用程序。具体而言，它正在创建新的原理，算法和设计框架，以实现新兴普遍计算设备和服务的灵活集成，适应和配置；确保在不可预测的环境中普遍存在的异质，动态变化的配置的鲁棒性的新技术；以及思考和实施系统的新方法，在这些方法中，计算加强并补充了普通的人类活动，而不是要求人类将其需求映射到以计算机为中心的应用程序中。这项研究有可能产生三种重大的广泛影响。 （1）它将扩展集成计算机支持的范围，以在无法广泛访问计算支持的环境中严重影响非计算机用户（例如在家庭中）； （2）这将有助于减少普通用户从计算系统中所需的差距，以改善其日常生活，以及当前以计算机为中心的技术提供的差距； （3）它将降低部署和使用新兴普遍计算技术的复杂性，同时提高其可预测性和鲁棒性。
