Towards Real World Operating Systems for Realizing Smarter Cities
摘要
The rapid advancement of information technology has profoundly impacted our daily lives. We rely on tools like the Google search engine for instant information access and Google Maps for efficient navigation during travelPlease check and confirm if the authors given and family names have been correctly identified. Software plays a pivotal role in adding value to various aspects of our lives. However, the infrastructure required to enhance the services we use daily remains less understood. This paper aims to address this gap by presenting three research agendas focused on developing high-level platforms through software to enhance everyday life services from a perspective of operating systems. The first research agenda is titled “Alternate Reality Experience” which seeks to guide people’s attitudes and behaviors to manage future virtualized resources within the real-world operating system. The goal is to create a seamless integration of virtual and physical elements, shaping future interactions and experiences. The second research agenda, “Sharing Everything” aims to foster the sharing and protection of real-world physical and virtualized resources. The concepts of sharing and protection are crucial features in designing efficient operating systems. The third research agenda, “Physical Embodiment” focuses on introducing new I/O device management as an interface to the real world. This agenda emphasizes the importance of incorporating physical behavior and information embodiment to facilitate seamless communication between the operating system and the real world. By exploring these approaches, we can gain valuable insights into developing advanced services that better support our daily lives. This research contributes to understanding the potential of operating system concepts in shaping the future of everyday life services. In conclusion, we highlight several future research questions that can further propel this direction of exploration.
