Context-Aware Computing and Self-Managing Systems

Informationen zum Autor Waltenegus Dargie Klappentext Addressing an emerging topic in computing platforms with broad applications in mobile and pervasive computing! this book presents a comprehensive overview of self-managing networks and context-aware systems and networks. Written by those pioneering the field! this work provides a handbook for researchers working on the designing of such systems. It also serves as a reference for those wishing to get up to speed on context-awareness from the network level to applications in the area of human-computer interaction. Divided into four main parts! the book demonstrates the scope and usefulness of context-aware computing in developing self-managing devices! middleware! networks! and applications. Zusammenfassung Shows how context-aware computing can be used in many self-managing systems, including devices, applications, middle ware, and networks. This book enables researchers of context-aware computing to identify potential applications in the area of autonomous computing.
