The objective of D6 is to design a programming model suitable for the development of proactive applications constructed from mobile sentient objects. D6 embodies the final deliverable and follows its predecessor deliverable D2, the preliminary definition of the CORTEX programming model. It outlines our definition of sentient objects and describes how an application developer may program them in a context aware manner using techniques such as Bayesian networks and belief theory. Furthermore, D6 describes the CORTEX event-based communication model made available to the application programmer for defining inter-object communication. And finally, D6 presents our approach to specifying QoS parameters characterizing the level of service supported by the underlying, heterogeneous infrastructure and for reserving the resources required to enforce the specified QoS
