Outline

$\Textit{Bifr ost}$ is a programming model for spatial networking that uses physical space as a boundary for private, robust, low-latency communication. It uses a big graph to represent both containment and connectivity, and enables policy scoping based on physical boundaries, device naming based on location, instantiating spatial services, and configuring spaces while maintaining local autonomy. $\textit{Bifr ost}$ enables a new class of spatially aware applications where co-located devices communicate directly, physical barriers require explicit gateways, and local control provides a bridge for global coordination.

Takeaways, Limitations

A new programming model for spatial networking
Expressing spatial relationships using BigGraph
Suggesting the possibility of developing spatial awareness applications
Lack of information on specific implementation and performance evaluation
Lack of application and test cases in actual physical spaces
Insufficient comparative analysis with other spatial networking models
