AwareCon: Situation Aware Context Communication

Ubicomp environments impose tough constraints on networks, including immediate communication, low energy consumption, minimal maintenance and administration. With the AwareCon network, we address these challenges by prescribing an integrated architecture that differs from classical networking by featuring an awareness of the surrounding situation and context. In various settings, where AwareCon was implemented on tiny battery driven devices, we show that applications and usability of devices benefit from this approach.
