The Smart Party: A Personalized Location-Aware Multimedia Experience

Abstract

The Smart Party is a new ubiquitous computing application for the home environment. This application gathers musical preferences for guests located in different rooms of a user's house. Based on their preferences and available media, the application chooses a music play list for each room, adjusting to changing membership as guests move through the party. We describe the application, its architecture, and our implementation, including key performance characteristics.
