GROUPING

Grouping is a fundamental human cognitive

process affecting on group awareness.The
cognitive. The aspects of grouping are called
“Gestalt's law”.
E.g. similarities between location,distance and
connection.

Context Awareness

It is the systems ability to use context to

provide relevant information and services to
user.
An entity is a person ,a place and object is
relevant between the user and applications including
the applications and applications themselves.Grouping
awareness in context of computer supported
collabrative work as communication collaboration
awareness continum.Awareness gives an end user the
abilty to see what another user is doing.

Task,Goal,Usability

End user of the service has some goals when using a

bluetooth service or device.
Usability of the service increases,when the amount of
the task needed to goal lowers,and the tasks are more
closely connected to the goals in terms of the end user.

TOWARDS GROUP AWARENESS

 Bluetooth specification descries where items and
services work as a group,there is no clear way for
user or end user to know:
1) Which service are to be shown
2) Which services are to be used
As a group.

Service discovery profile.

Bluetooth specification offers some tools to
Solve the problem of task /flow:
1. Bluetooth devices have unique identification
number.
2. One bluetooth device may offer several
services,that may be governed independently.
At this stage,the application’s group awareness must
be built to be application independent.

Ambient awareness.
 we want to enable ambient awareness support,
which enables users to focus on goal-directed
interactions in certain situational contexts and:
1) Minimize or eliminate required user attention for
managing dynamic changes in the user's
computing and communication environment and
2) Maximize use attention for and interaction with
entities/resources/artifacts that are relevant to the
user's goals and situational context.

SERVICE AWARENESS
Service awareness is concept which includes
service discovery,advertisement server selection
in mobile ad hoc environments.
In the context of our concept the services
thatare not pre-installed infrastructure in case of
protocols.e.g.discovering a printer is not concept
of service awareness.

 B.E. COMPUTER SEMINAR

Challenges of service awareness

In general service discovery mechanism can be
divided into three categories :
1.Central registry and lookup:Server registered
their services to the central registry.
2. Service registration: Servers announce their
services to other.
3. Server query:Client sends their requests for
services and try to get replies from servers.
Service awareness in mobile ad hoc network rise to
new challenges.

Conclusion
1).Group management provided by the BTC does
not provide group awareness to the end user.
2). Naming convention informative to end user(s)
should be built.
3).Group management in bluetooth telephony does
not necessarily provide for group awareness.
