Book description
The concept of aware systems is among the most exciting trends in
computing today, fueled by recent developments in pervasive computing,
including new computers worn by users, embedded devices, smart appliances,
sensors, and varieties of wireless networking technology. Context-Aware
Pervasive Systems: The Architecture of a New Breed of Applications introduces a diverse set of application areas and provides blueprints for
building context-aware behaviour into applications. Reviewing the anatomy of
context-aware pervasive applications, this resource covers abstract
architecture. It examines mobile services, appliances, smart devices,
software agents, electronic communication, sensor networks, security
frameworks, and intelligent software agents. The book also discusses the use
of context awareness for communication among people, devices, and software
agents and how sensors can be aware of their own situations. Exploring the
use of physical context for controlling and enhancing security in pervasive
computing environments, this guide addresses mirror worlds and elucidates
design perspectives based on a declarative programming language paradigm.
This carefully paced volume presents a timely and relevant introduction to
the emergence of context-aware systems and brings together architectures and
principles of context-aware computing in one source.
