Bridging context management systems for different types of pervasive computing environments.
free download
ABSTRACT A context management system is a distributed system that enables applications to obtain context information about (mobile) users and forms a key component of any pervasive computing environment. Context management systems are however very Pervasive computing is becoming an emerging paradigm of next-generation computing . It seeks to transform computer-centric computing to human-centered computing . Its goal is to build a personal living environment where digital services can be provided seamlessly at the
Creating ad-hoc pervasive computing environments

Pervasive Computing technology can convert everyday environments, such as office spaces, into digitally enriched places. Users can profit from pervasive computing environments in many ways: context aware applications proactively react , leading to
Security, trust and privacy a new direction for pervasive computing
free download
Information which used to be privileged only for the rich and powerful few has become crucial part of our life. Everyone is now very aware of the need to protect sensitive and valuable information from unintentionally being presented to other individuals or
Context Aware services as a step to pervasive computing
free download
The future of mobile computing after the death of WAP seems uncertain. WAP carried with itself an expectation that it would be an important driving force in areas ranging next generation mobile systems to microelectronics. The vacuum left behind by WAP and even a
SURVEY OF SEMANTIC SIMILARITY MEASURES IN PERVASIVE COMPUTING .
free download
Semantic similarity measures usage is prevalent in pervasive computing with the following aims: 1) to compare the components of an application; 2) to recommend and rank services by degree of relevance; 3) to identify services by matching the description of a query with the
Developing testing techniques for event-driven pervasive computing applications
free download
As we move closer to the world of pervasive computing , embedded devices, sensors, and software agents find increasingly more applications in todays inter-networked world. Consequently, several classes of event-driven software (EDS) are becoming ubiquitous
Enabling Personal Privacy for Pervasive Computing Environments.
free download
Protection of personal data in the Internet is already a challenge today. Users have to actively look up privacy policies of websites and decide whether they can live with the terms of use. Once discovered, they are forced to make a take or leave decision. In future living
Making pervasive computing technology pervasive for health wellness in aging
