Abstract

The conception and development of pervasive systems involve interdisciplinary team work. The team consists of people with different research background. While such a composition is desirable to solve real-world problems, it brings with it also challenges. To begin with, team members should establish a shared understanding of what should be done. Secondly, separately developed subparts should be brought together to make up a unified, consistent and side-effect free system. In this paper, we discuss the development of the senceive system as a graduate project course work. The project involves computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering students. Technically, the Senceive system offers a stepwise abstraction of low-level concerns (sensing) from higher-level use of meaningful features.
