Mobile devices like PDAs or mobile phones have become widespread. Similarly, network functionality like GSM, Bluetooth, or WLAN has become standard. Nevertheless, not many applica...
This paper presents a set of architectures for the composition of ubiquitous computing applications. It describes research that is being carried out in "extrovert-Gadgets&quo...
—Context, the pieces of information that capture the characteristics of ubiquitous computing environment, is often imprecise and incomplete due to user mobility, unreliable wirel...
Resiliency to link failures in optical networks is becoming increasingly important due to the increasing data rate in the fiber. Path protection schemes attempt to guarantee a bac...
