Self-managed Cells for Ubiquitous Systems

Abstract. Amongst the challenges of ubiquitous computing is the need to provide management support for personal wireless devices and sensors. In this extended abstract we introduce a policy-based architecture that supports management at varying levels based on the concept of a self-managed cell. Cells include policy-driven agents that support context-based and trust-based access control and system adaptation. Cells can also organize themselves through federation and nesting.
