Engineering natural and appropriate interactive behaviour in ubiquitous computing systems presents new challenges to their developers. This paper explores formal models of interac...
Abstract. To overcome increasing complexity and dynamic nature of distributed computing system, such as ubiquitous computing systems, it is critical to have computing systems that ...
Based on five design principles extracted from a survey of location systems, we present the Location Stack, a layered software engineering model for location in ubiquitous comput...

Ubiquitous computing systems can be regarded as open systems where heterogeneous and previously unknown entities may spontaneously interact, due to intrinsic mobility of users and...
Physical controls such as knobs, sliders, and buttons are experiencing a revival as many computing systems progress from personal computing architectures towards ubiquitous comput...
