ContextCube - Providing Context Information Ubiquitously
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sensing the state of the environment is an important source for context-aware applications. Several approaches exist to provide sensor information to mobile application nodes. As the extreme cases we have pure infrastructures and pure ad hoc networks. In order to allow sensor platforms to serve both of these approaches, we have designed a universal sensor platform and integrated it into an infrastructure-based approach as well as into ad hoc networks. In this paper we discuss the requirements on such a platform, the design, and the experiences.

Realizing the Ubiquitous Network: the Internet and Beyond
Two major properties will characterize networks in the future: ‘3C everywhere’ and ‘physical interaction’. These two properties promise a computing infrastructure that seamlessly and ubiquitously aids users in accomplishing their tasks and that renders the actual computing devices and technology largely invisible. This paper begins by providing a brief overview of the emerging technologies that...
متن کاملReducing context uncertainty for robust pervasive workflows
Mobile computing devices equipped with sensors are ubiquitously available, today. These platforms provide readings of a multitude of different sensor modalities with fairly high accuracy. But the lack of associated application knowledge restrains the possibility to combine this sensor information to accurate high-level context information. This information is required to drive the execution of ...
متن کاملScalable Middleware for Context-Aware Ubiquitous Computing
In ubiquitous computing systems it is important for applications to obtain context information and adapt their behavior according to context information. For a ubiquitous application to obtain and use context information, it is necessary to provide basic services to discover proper context providers and exchange/store/infer from context information. Moreover, when providing such services, non-f...

Landslide is one of these natural hazards which causes a great amount of financial and human damage annually allover the world. Accordingly, identification of areas with landslide threat for implementation of preventive measures in order to confront against the instability of hillsides for reduction of potential threats and related risks is very important. In this research a new method for clas...
متن کاملThe Cognitive Neuroscience of Placebo Effects: Concepts, Predictions, and Physiology.
Placebos have been used ubiquitously throughout the history of medicine. Expectations and associative learning processes are important psychological determinants of placebo effects, but their underlying brain mechanisms are only beginning to be understood. We examine the brain systems underlying placebo effects on pain, autonomic, and immune responses. The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)...
