The increasing popularity of ubiquitous, interconnected computing devices such as laptops, PDAs, and 3G mobile phones is fostering the emergence of environments where people access their personal information, corporate data and public resources "anytime" and "anywhere". Context, an important concept that can be any information regarding the situation and environment, is often exploited...
A context aware model for the delivery of content in mobile networks is presented and studied through simulation. The proposed model is based on predictive knowledge of mobile user behavior related to consumption of content on smart terminals. Content prediction is here exploited to change the time and the location of content delivery, opportunistically utilizing the instantaneously available excess...
The advances in distributed sensing and wireless communication enable pervasive home applications which are quit information-rich. Hereby the integrated access and management of heterogeneous information becomes an increasingly important research topic. Moreover recent popularity and advances in visual aids (Google maps, 3D computer graphics, PS games, etc.) call for the more attractively intuitive...
Emerging technologies like mobile and wireless communication are offering promising opportunities to enable mobile healthcare delivery to citizens. But, enhancing the quality of service of such systems demands systematic improvement of existing service infrastructure. In this paper, we describe a context information refinement architecture proposed to address the shortcomings of existing works in...
Wireless sensor networks offer significant improvement over traditional sensor networks. Wireless sensor network (WSNs) consists of small sensor nodes, which are capable of sensing, processing and wireless communication capabilities. Recently Context-aware computing is an area of interest in WSN's. Context aware computing (CAC) is a paradigm in which applications make use of contextual information...
The availability of both static and dynamic context information has steadily been increasing in recent years. Accordingly, manifold use cases for this data, especially for consumer services, have been suggested. In this paper, we present a concept for how to use context information for intelligent radio network access (IRNA) purposes. Therefore, a context management architecture (CMA) is proposed...
The seamless combining with context-aware sensors and numerous devices and e-home server will soon become a part of our home environment in the near future. We name it as a context-aware home based on ubiquitous computing concept. This context-aware home reduces participations of users in order to realize a ubiquitous computing and automates various services. Therefore, the risk of privacy violation...
Computing technology is radically changing the manner in which we work and communicate with computers. ubiquitous virtual reality (U-VR) has been researched in order to apply the concept of virtual reality and its technology into ubiquitous computing. In this paper, we analyze past research on ubiquitous virtual reality and find future research direction.
