Abstract

Soft-devices are configurable and adaptive software virtual mechanism, representing distributed network software and devices. Softdevices and human users constitute a cyber-world in the Knowledge Grid environment.an intelligent interconnection environment that enables people and machines to work in cooperation. The cyber world determines its social evolution mode according to the development of nature, science, technology and human society. New soft-devices are generated by fusing or inheriting from existing ones. Soft-devices evolve according to the optimization and effectiveness principles. Interactions of different types in this cyber world form the self-organization structure. This keynote presents the framework of the softdevice world, the method for soft-device inheritance in the environment, and demonstrates the application in culture heritage exhibition.
