Context-aware ubiquitous computing applications thrive in extremely dynamic and heterogeneous environments. When they are delivered to the user preconfigured and without the capability to be adapted, they may fail to satisfy the user's changing needs and may give the user the feeling that control is taken away from him. In this paper we present how context can be exploited in ubiquitous computing...
Technological advances in wireless networks and mobile devices are driving towards a new concept of grid computing, in which mobile users play an active role. For this reason, classical wired grid infrastructures are being extended in order to provide facilities which enable mobile users to exploit services available in the environment. Since grid computing borrows such facilities from pervasive computing,...
In this paper, we present a new platform for migrating applications in/between intelligent computing contexts. We establish the framework through the following technical aspects: application reconstruction, application state recovery, resource rebinding and I/O interface reinstallation. Our goal is to migrate applications seamlessly like a shadow as users change their locations in certain contexts...
Bringing together heterogeneous computing devices and appliances gives rise to a spontaneous environment where resources exchange messages, such as a mobile phone telling the car's stereo to mute. We also witness computer-augmented resources become physically simpler to use (e. g. less buttons) but become more complex to handle in their digital dimension (e. g. overloaded user interfaces). As a consequence,...
