ASUR++: A Design Notation for Mobile Mixed Systems

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2411))

Abstract

In this paper we present a notation, ASUR++, for describing mobile systems that combine physical and digital entities. The notation ASUR++ builds upon our previous one, called ASUR. The new features of ASUR++ are dedicated to handling the mobility of users and enable a designer to express physical relationships among entities involved in the system. The notation and its usefulness are illustrated in the context of the design of an augmented museum gallery.
