In this paper, we propose a peer-to-peer approach to derive and obtain additional context data from lowlevel context data that may be spread over multiple domains in pervasive com...

Publish-subscribe-query information broker middleware offers great promise to users of pervasive computing systems requiring access to information. However, users of publish-subscr...
A modern server system must deliver a complex set of obligations towards its users. We study the concept of roles as autonomous encapsulations of a set of promises. Using virtuali...
We identify here various kinds of failure conditions and robustness issues that arise in context-aware pervasive computing applications. Such conditions are related to failures in...
