Service Discovery in Pervasive Computing Environments
Service discovery is a driving force in realizing pervasive computing. It provides a way for users and services to locate and interact with other services in a pervasive computing environment. Unfortunately, current service discovery solutions do not capture the effects of the human or physical …

Analytical techniques for debugging pervasive computing environments
User level debugging of pervasive environments is important as it provides the ability to observe changes that occur in a pervasive environment and fix problems that result from these changes, especially since pervasive environments may from time to time exhibit unexpected behavior. Simple …

Location-aware access control for pervasive computing environments
In pervasive computing environments certain applications are interested in a user's location in order to provide a service. Such applications would benefit from an architecture that enables users to prove their location prior to requesting a service. We present PA C, an architecture for …

Towards formalisation of situation-specific computationsin pervasive computing environments
… the characteristics and the content of pervasive computing environments (PCEs), and demonstrated why a non-dynamic approach to knowledge conceptualisation in PCEs does not fulfil the expectations we may have from them. Consequently, we have proposed a formalised computational model, the …

An extensible communication-oriented routing environment for pervasive computing
The realm of pervasive computing is expanding at a fast pace, and the need for more generalized protocols and systems is in high demand. Bluetooth is a technology with great potential, but it runs over specific protocols standardized only for other Bluetooth devices. This limits connectivity and …

Exploring Electronic Storyboards as Interdisciplinary Design Tools for Pervasive Computing
Pervasive computing proposes a new paradigm for human-computer interaction. By embedding computation, sensing, and networking into our daily environments, new computing systems can be developed that become helpful, supportive, and invisible elements of our lives. This tight proximity between the …

A framework for multi-modal input in a pervasive computing environment
… This system is based on the input needs of pervasive computing users. The work extends the Galaxy architecture developed by the Spoken Language Systems group at MIT. Just as speech recognition disambiguates an input wave form by using a grammar to find the best matching phrase, we use the …

A context-aware method for verifying user identity in pervasive computing environments
… significant when that system is situated in a pervasive environment since this type of environment is more vulnerable to such attacks. Any proposed method for this environment needs to be seamless (nonintrusive) and secure. As users in such environments tend to access a variety of resources …

A non-intrusive technique for asserting user identity in pervasive computing environments
Pervasive computing environments are an exciting new computing scene due to therecent advances in wireless communications and digital electronics. Theseenvironments are small smart worlds that have many advantages, such ascontinuous and distributed interaction with people using a variety of …

An agent-based service-oriented approach to evolving legacy software systems into a pervasive computing environment.
… approach to evolving legacy system into a Pervasive Computing environment. The methodology consists of multiple phases: using reverse engineering techniques to comprehend and decompose legacy systems, employing XML and Web Services to transform and represent a legacy system as pervasive …

A distributed architecture for mobile, location-dependent applications
As pervasive computing becomes a reality, users will be able to interact with computing services which will all work together in a seamlessly integrated system. Resource discovery is a key feature of pervasive computing which allows users simple and convenient access to resources. While there are …

An ultrasonic compass for context-aware mobile applications
… are to realize the everyday benefits promised by pervasive computing and context-aware applications, we must first develop the infrastructure to provide contextual location and orientation information through pervasive computing elements. I lay the foundations for leveraging the Cricket indoor …

Assemblies of Pervasive Services
Pervasive computing is a vision about computers blending into the background, being there to assist us when we need them, but not requiring constant attention. The vision covers scenarios in the home, at work, and out in the street, and builds on the ongoing development towards an increasing number …
