Experiment -Service Identification and Selection
• Problem: identifying and addressing services in large-scale ad-hoc environments.
• Compare two solutions: Ask Interface vs. Select Interface• which solution is:
• more effective• more efficient• more trustworthy• has a better user experience• creates better overall service awareness
• Outline: • Technical Environment• Experimental set-up• Results• Conclusion.

Results (6) - User Remarks
• You become dependent of the device• A good system for lazy people (+/-)• Lost in the structure (Select Interface)• Ordinary language use is nice, but current understanding is too
limited• No alternative solution (Ask Interface)• Device is not small enough• Quick (solution), slow (hard- & software)• Overkill for switching on the light• Not enough overall services (turn of all the appliances)
2005TNO Defence, Security and Safety19
Conclusion
• Ask interface in combination with context information (history, location, gaze) seems a valid solution.
• Select interface prevents a dead-lock situation.• A combination should contain an ask-interface for general use
and a select interface component for dead-lock situations.• Context-Awareness proves to be a difficult concept in practice.• Service Awareness remains limited to the used services.
