Pervasive computing aims to build an aggregated environment around a user by knitting diverse computing and communicating devices and software services into a single homogeneous u...
Context-aware applications can better meet users’ needs when sensing agents installed in the environment automatically provide input relevant to the application. However, this n...
Opportunistic sensing allows applications to "task" mobile devices to measure context in a target region. For example, one could leverage sensorequipped vehicles to measu...
—Efficient discovery of nearby devices and services is one of the preconditions to obtain a usable pervasive environment. Typical user interfaces in these environments hide the ...
The purpose of ubiquitous computing is anywhere and anytime access to information within computing infrastructures that is blended into a background and no longer be reminded. Thi...
