Pervasive computing is becoming a reality, thanks to advances in wireless networking and increased popularity of portable devices. Users of these devices will need support to deci...
We define adaptability as the capacity of software in adjusting its behavior in response to changing conditions. To list just a few examples, adaptability is important in pervasiv...
Multiagent systems for mobile and pervasive computing should extensively exploit contextual information both to adapt to user needs and to enable autonomic behavior. This raises th...

Heterogeneity and uncertainty are two main characteristics of pervasive computing environment and CSCW. CSCW can be viewed as a special case of pervasive computing. Middleware is ...
Emerging pervasive computing technologies such as sensor networks and RFID tags can be embedded in our everyday environment to digitally store and elaborate a variety of informatio...
—This paper addresses context issues in pervasive mobile computing and presents a semantic context model to support location based cooperative mobile applications. In this paper,...
Self-management is one of the challenges for realizing Ambient Intelligence in pervasive computing. In this paper, we propose and present a semantic web based selfmanagement appro...
A challenge for pervasive computing is the seamless integration of computer support with users’ activities in a very dynamic setting, with deep human and resource mobility. Port...
