Uncertainty always exists as an unavoidable factor when developing context-aware applications for pervasive computing environments [1][2][3][4]. In this paper, we propose a unifie...
The development and wider use of wireless networks and mobile devices has led to novel pervasive computing environments which pose new problems for software rights management and ...
A fundamental requirement for autonomic computing is to be able to automatically infer how human users react in similar contextual conditions. This paper examines the problem of a...

—Contexts, the pieces of information that capture the characteristics of computing environments, are often inconsistent in the dynamic and uncertain pervasive computing environme...
To allow for an efficient usage of a device in pervasive computing environments, reliable and yet convenient user access is an important requirement. The problem becomes more comp...
Pervasive computing environments accommodate interconnected and communicating mobile devices. Mobility is a vital aspect of everyday life and technology must offer support for mov...

We explore the challenges and research directions in building models, protocols and architectures to support security in pervasive computing environments. We argue that to be succ...
In this paper, we survey the models and approaches applied to the middleware services of pervasive computing environments. Architectural styles and patterns introduced in the doma...
There is generally no a priori trust relationship among entities interacting in pervasive computing environments which makes it necessary to establish trust from scratch. This tas...
Pervasive computing allows the coupling of the physical world to the information world, and provides a wealth of ubiquitous services and applications that allow users, machines, d...
