Objective

In this research, we would like to articulate the following goal for the multimedia systems:
 
"In an experiential computing environment, the system should sense the data (mutiple data streams) from the environment. Based on the observations and experiences, the system should collate the relevant data and information of interest related to the task. Thus, the system interacts naturally with all of the available data based on its interests in light of the past states in order to achieve its designed task."

What is "Experiential Sampling"?

The process of identifying the most relevant data among the available streams in the multimedia system at a given instant to utilize for interpretation to refine the current model of the environment.
