Construction Tools

Construction tools have recently started to emerge that significantly reduce the cost of development. Emerging construction tools work includes:


Infrastructure services

Infrastructure services have emerged from the use of key components within experience projects. Some services can be regarded as basic to Equator others are higher-level services, and indicative early examples of these include:


Distributed systems fabrics

Distributed systems fabrics have been developed to link the various entities together that make up our components.Our distributed systems fabric includes:


 
   

Infrastructure


The Infrastructure challenge focuses on the components and tools needed to interleave physical and the digital interaction. This is closely linked to the Understanding Interaction and the Devices Challenge, a distinguishing characteristic of Equator's infrastructure work is that it takes place within the broad setting of system research undertaken in the context of use, its design informed by practical use within experience projects.
 
 

As part of these experiences we have developed a large number of software components that are catalogued in the Equator Infrastructure Repository. Our initial set of experience projects have been assembled from a variety of components tailored to meet the practical needs of the projects.
