There is growing interest in the use of context-awareness as a technique for developing pervasive computing applications that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autono...
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...
In this paper we argue for middleware languages that aid in service composition. We outline where such languages could be useful through the description of our current architectur...
Trust, the fundamental basis of ‘cooperation’ – one of the most important characteristics for the performance of pervasive ad hoc network-- is under serious threat with the ...
