Pervasive computing calls for suitable middleware and programming models to deal with large software systems dived in dynamic mobile network environments. Here we present the prog...
There is growing interest in the use of context-awareness as a technique for developing pervasive computing applications that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autono...
Context-aware computing systems demand an accurate and up-to-date world model which computationally represents the environment they oversee. Systems to date tend to have small-sca...
Connectivity is central to pervasive computing environments. We seek to catalyze a world of rich and diverse connectivity through technologies that drastically simplify the task o...

We investigate the theoretical limits of positioning algorithms. In particular, we study scenarios where the nodes do not receive anchors directly (multi-hop) and where no physica...
One way to improve inferences on sensor data is to tune the algorithms through a time-consuming offline procedure. A less expensive, and potentially more accurate method is to use...

This paper introduces and solves a security problem of pervasive computing: how to define authorizations for offline interactions when trust relationships among entities do not ex...
Applications in the Pervasive Computing domain are challenged by the dynamism in which their execution environment changes, e.g. due to user mobility. As a result, applications ha...

Ubiquitous computing environments accrete slowly over time rather than springing into existence all at once. Mechanisms are needed for incremental integration-the problem of how t...
In this paper we investigate the performance of IEEE 802.11b ad hoc networks by means of an experimental study. This analysis reveals several aspects that are usually neglected in...
