This position paper argues that the mobile agents paradigm is a useful and important technology enabling pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Context awareness drives adaptability ...
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...
The lack of structured methodologies and software engineering efforts on designing the support of contextawareness in pervasive systems hinders the potential advantages of analyzi...
