Wearable Notification via Dissemination Service in a Pervasive Computing Environment

This report describes an architecture of wearable sensors in the context of an Army tactical environment. The architecture is implemented in functional software that integrates the sensor data, performs predictions to determine contextual gesture information, and disseminates this information to other Soldiers and computing assets where the presentation is properly adapted. This prototype framework demonstrates the feasibility of how a heterogeneous pervasive computing environment can integrate context, state, and environment in a manner that would be transparent to a Soldier's common operations.
