Ubiquitous environments facilitate the collection of information pieces from sensors, databases, or mobile devices in order to compose the context of entities like users, places, o...
Systems must provide for mobile applications to be aware of the context in which they are being used. This is necessary to permit adaptation to heterogeneity of hosts and networks...
We describe a platform for context-aware computing which enables applications to follow mobile users as they move around a building. The platform is particularly suitable for rich...

Abstract. We present a Mobile-Ambients-based process calculus to describe context-aware computing in an infrastructure-based Ubiquitous Computing setting. In our calculus, computin...
: The complex usage of mobile devices coupled with their limited resources in terms of display and processing suggests that being able to understand the context of the user would b...
