Interactive Architecture is a processes-oriented guide to creating dynamic spaces and objects capable of performing a range of pragmatic and humanistic functions. These complex physical interactions are made possible by the creative fusion of embedded computation (intelligence) with a physical, tangible counterpart (kinetics). A uniquely twenty-first century toolbox and skill set-virtual and physical modeling, sensor technology, CNC fabrication, prototyping, and robotics-necessitates collaboration across many diverse scientific and art-based communities. Interactive Architecture includes contributions from the worlds of architecture, industrial design, computer programming, engineering, and physical computing. These remarkable projects run the gamut in size and complexity. Full-scale built examples include a house in Colorado that programs itself by observing the lifestyle of the inhabitants, and then learns to anticipate and accommodate their needs. Interactive Architecture examines this vanguard movement from all sides, including its sociological and psychological implications as well as its potentially beneficial environmental impact. Interactive Architecture by Michael Fox and Miles Kemp, 2009:20 “If living systems are machines, that they are physical auto poetic machines is trivially obvious: they transform matter into themselves in a manner such that the product of their operation is their own organization. However, we deem the converse as also true: A physical system if autopoetic is living. In other words, we claim that the notion of autopoiesis is necessary and sufficient to characterize the organization of living systems.” Autopoiesis and cognition: the realization of the living by Humberto R. Maturana and Francisco J. Varela, 1979:17.

Participation on the project “LIGHTHOUSE – Monitoring the availability and performance of heterogeneous systems and services through a modular and highly distributed architecture over the Internet” project, financed by FEDER through the PME RD&T Incentive System, under the Lisbon Regional Operational Program – LISBOA-01-0202-FEDER-024890. The participation on the LIGHTHOUSE project was mostly focused on three different tasks: Lighthouse Solution Security Analysis – Lighthouse distributed architecture and monitoring solution analysis, as well as “probes” and associated applications. On the other hand, this task also produced a set of safety recommendations for improving the Lighthouse system. The end result of this task was a report with the safety analysis performed as well as a set of recommendations; LightMon mobile application – This task consisted of the development of a mobile application for smartphones, which was be integrated with the LightHouse probes monitoring system API (LightMon) and allows monitoring of their state. The result of this task was a mobile application for smartphones, multiplatform – Android and iOS – using the Appcelerator Titanium tool; LightMon User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) Analysis – This task consisted of analyzing the User Interface and User Experience (UI / UX) for the LightHouse “test” web control and monitoring tool. In this task mockups were also be proposed with improvements in the layout of the tool that were later implemented. The end result of this task was a report with a set of UI / UX enhancements and production of image mockups for the site.

The applied research addressed by the proposed project is focused on the development and evaluation of algorithms and estimators inthe context of navigation and coordinated positioning.
