Abstract:
Recent research in mobile computing has given rise to a new
class of ubiquitous applications that are deployed in dynamic networks
where communication is not reliable. In this paper, we describe how
context-based reasoning can be used to overcome this limitation of (ad
hoc) wireless communication. We present a small set of abstractions that
facilitate the development of mobile ubiquitous applications centred on
the definition of contexts of interest. Mobile intelligent agents, called
sentient objects, extract, interpret and use context information to drive
their behaviour. Communication between sentient objects is supported
by an event-based middleware that provides feedback when communication
cannot be maintained, allowing sentient objects to dynamically
adapt their behaviour. We show how our approach has been successfully
applied to an application from the transportation domain.
