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...
In this paper, we analyze the role of the social group in a Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) environment as a source of contextual information. A model is presented to address the s...
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...
