Abstract. Context-aware systems represent extremely complex and heterogeneous distributed systems, composed of sensors, actuators, application components, and a variety of context ...
We propose an adaptive middleware design for context-aware applications that abstracts the applications from the sensors that provide context. Further, we use application-specifi...
We propose a novel object discovery framework integrating the application layer of Bluetooth and RFID standards. The approach is motivated and illustrated in an innovative u-comme...

— The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and RFID technology are starting to make the ubiquitous computing vision a reality, as they provide the means to obtain informat...
— Many future ubiquitous devices will be able to determine their precise physical position using different types of localization techniques (e.g. GPS antennas for outdoor-, RFID ...
