Intent-Addressable Physical Infrastructure
Intent-Addressable Physical Infrastructure (IAPI) is a class of cyber-physical infrastructure in which a person expresses what resource is needed and the environment assumes responsibility for resolving where that resource is and guiding or actuating the physical response. The person specifies the what. The infrastructure determines the where.
A formal model for identity, location, and actuation in intent-driven cyber-physical systems: what physical endpoint can the system reliably act upon now to satisfy the resolved resource intent?
Intent-driven interaction with physical environments requires more than object identification and more than knowledge of location. For a physical resource to be computationally actionable, a system
The formal definition of IAPI: a dual-view reference model, an end-to-end reliability formalism, minimum conformance criteria, capability levels, historical antecedents, and an evaluation framework.
Computing has repeatedly advanced by making resources more addressable and by moving users to higher levels of abstraction. Physical environments still require people to translate what they need into
A concept paper defining Intent-Addressable Physical Infrastructure, its reference architecture, and the design principles that follow from it.
Physical search is an infrastructure problem disguised as a human task. This paper proposes Intent-Addressable Physical Infrastructure (IAPI) as a class of cyber-physical infrastructure in which a
