We present a framework that supports the development of pervasive cross-media applications through a clean separation of interaction design and application programming. The approach is based on a novel concept of active components that provides a lightweight mechanism for linking physical and digital entities to services. We show how the development of cross-media applications can be simplified by...
Pervasive computing systems such as smart spaces typically combine multiple embedded and/or mobile sensing, computing and interaction devices. A variety of distributed computing approaches are used to integrate these devices to support coordinated applications. This paper describes how simple user descriptions of (primarily) physical aspects of such a system can be combined with information from system...
A new multi-weight virtual machine based on pervasive computing architecture has been introduced to support the future hospital information system in pervasive computing age. In this architecture, four running modes are defined according to the terminal's hardware performance and the weight of the applications. To realize the architecture, some prototypes have been developed. Compared with the traditional...
As it is very difficult for learners to find the most proper contents according to their preferences from massive resources in U-Learning environment, the resource recommendation mechanism as a core component must be introduced. On the other hand, traditional recommendation mechanisms have been widely studied in e-business and personalized service fields in which most of them only take into account...
