Abstract

In Personalized Networked Spaces (PNets), people and devices are integrated with the environment and demand fluid interactions to enable connectivity to information, services, and people. PNet applications exhibit significant spatiotemporal demands in which connectivity to resources and information is personalized and focused on the here and now. We introduce Gander, a personalized search engine for the here and now. We examine how search expectations are affected when users and applications interact directly with the physical environment. We define a formal conceptual model of search in PNets that provides a clear definition of the framework and ultimately enables reasoning about relationships between search processing and the relevance of results. We assess our model by evaluating sophisticated Gander queries in a simulated PNet.
