Abstract
Achieving the vision of Ambient Intelligence, a world where devices adapt and anticipation our needs without intervention, requires a device to connect to multiple sensors to achieve this goal. One solution to this goal is to create a sensor web between sensors. This proves to be challenging due to the range of devices, different application requirements and is compounded by the fact that devices with their corresponding sensors can be mobile. Therefore a sensor web also requires the ability of heterogenous sensors to be discovered dynamically. This paper seeks to address the challenge of discovery by demonstrating how this can be achieved using a lightweight discovery service developed for this paper. AndroSIXTH aims to improve network middleware SIXTH with discovery services and extend its abilities to mobile networks. To illustrate the functionality of AndroSIXTH discovery service and its importance to the creation of Ambient Intelligent applications, a case study will be examined that demonstrates how through a seamless discovery service, an Augmented Reality environment can be created and used for maintenance and deployment of sensors for an Ambient Intelligent environment.
