CONTROLE E GERENCIAMENTO DE AMBIENTES REAIS EDUCACIONAIS ATRAVÉS DE AMBIENTES VIRTUAIS

Abstract

This paper presents an architecture modelaimed to intelligent management of environments usingembedded systems. The management through embeddedsystem considers environment self-management,communication with external entities and interactiveapplications. The main idea is obtain synchronism betweenreal objects and their representation on virtual environment.Therefore, a user can alter the component state locally orremotely, keeping the consistency of its actions in the realand the virtual environment. The hardware architecturemodel is based on ubiquitous computing concept and intendsto provide an automation system thoroughly integrated intoeveryday activities. This architecture, when used ineducational environments, has the ability to add interactivityand productivity to allow better educational processes.
