نویسنده
چکیده
Cooperative ubiquitous environments support user interaction and cooperative work by adapting to the prevalent situation of the present users. They are typically complex and have many environment components—interconnected devices and software modules—that realise new interaction techniques and facilitate collaboration. Despite this complexity, users need to be able to easily adapt their environments to the respective needs of the workgroups. In this paper, the authors present the CollaborationBus Aqua editor, a sophisticated, yet lightweight editor for configuring ubiquitous environments in groups. The CollaborationBus Aqua editor simplifies the configuration and offers advanced concepts for sharing and browsing configurations among users. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-2647-8.ch010

متن کاملA Lightweight Middleware Protocol for Ad Hoc Distributed Object Computing in Ubiquitous Computing Environments
Devices in ubiquitous computing environments are usually embedded, wearable, and handheld, have resource constraints, and are all connected to each other through wireless connections and other computers possibly through fixed network infrastructures, such as the Internet. These devices may form numerous webs of short-range and often low-power mobile ad hoc networks to exchange information. Dist...

Ubiquitous computing, context-aware applications and mobile services form one of the most promising business opportunities in the near future. Ubiquitous applications, however, introduce great challenges to application developers. The application area includes several demanding characteristics. The applications are mobile and operate in distributed environments. They communicate in wireless fas...
متن کامل"Playing with the Bits" User-Configuration of Ubiquitous Domestic Environments
This paper presents the development of a user-oriented framework to support the user reconfiguration of ubiquitous domestic environments. We present a lightweight component model that allows a range of devices to be readily interconnected and an editor to support users in doing this. The editor discovers available ubiquitous components and presents these to users as jigsaw pieces that can be dy...
متن کاملCommunication Models for Processes and Services in Mobile Lightweight Grid Systems
The last few years we have seen the emergence of pervasive and mobile computing technologies. At the same time the Grid has become the de facto standard for distributed and high performance computing. A lightweight Grid infrastructure may well provide a solid foundation for pervasive computing. For this to happen, we must rethink our design goals, and provide support for mobility, resource limi...
