Physical Mobility and Logical Mobility in Ubiquitous Computing Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a framework for building context-aware applications in ubiquitous and mobile computing settings. The framework provides people, places, and things with computational functionalities to support and annotate them. It is unique among existing systems because the functionalities are implemented by mobile agents. Using location-tracking systems, this framework can navigate mobile agents to stationary or mobile computers near the locations of the entities and places to which the agents are attached, even when the locations change. The framework provides a way for mobile agents to follow their users as they move about and to adhere to places as virtual Post-its. A prototype implementation of the framework has been built on a Java-based mobile agent system and tested with several practical applications, including follow-me applications and a usernavigation system.

A User-Centric, Resource-Aware, Context-Sensitive, Multi-Device Application Framework for Ubiquitous Computing Environments
Ubiquitous computing challenges the conventional notion of a user logged into a personal computing device, whether it is a desktop, a laptop, or a digital assistant. When the physical environment of a user contains hundreds of networked computer devices each of which may be used to support one or more user applications, the notion of personal computing becomes inadequate. Further, when a group ...
