SCENAS - mobile scenario assistant for complex system configurations

Modern mobile devices are optimally suited to act as mobile assistance systems and mobile knowledge brokers. In demonstration scenarios with complex systems they can assist in the complicated setup and operation. The contribution of this work is the concept of a scenario assistant for complex scenarios consisting of complex, heterogeneous system networks. The main objective is to provide the users with a simple, intuitive assistance system to help them setup and operate these systems. This is realized within the implemented scenario assistant SCENAS. It hides the complexity of the configuration and presents the user with an abstract, non-technical view of the scenario and the system configurations. Additionally the scenario assistant can help the user by providing help and information content to the target systems. The application is shown in a complex, heterogeneous system for image exploitation.
