Highly dynamic computing environments, like ubiquitous and pervasive computing environments, require frequent adaptation of applications. Context is a key to adapt suiting user ne...
Ubiquitous computing refers to building a global computing environment where seamless and invisible access to computing resources is provided to the user. Pervasive computing deal...
The wide deployment of wireless sensor and RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) devices is one of the key enablers for next-generation pervasive computing applications, including...

Abstract. The event-condition-action (ECA) paradigm holds enormous potential in pervasive computing environments. However, the problem of reliable delivery of event data, generated...
Abstract. High quality context information plays a vital role in adapting a system to the rapidly changing situations. However, the diversity of the sources of context information ...
This paper presents a framework for context-aware applications, with a particular focus on collaboration and pervasiveness. The framework relies on distributed ontologies, which ar...
Users in ubiquitous and pervasive computing environments will be much more empowered in ways to access and to control their navigation. Handover, the vital event in which a user c...
