Combining existing services to create new pervasive computing services involves special
design considerations, including context awareness, contingency management, device …

We present an architecture supporting ad-hoc composition of pervasive services, an open-
source framework that implements it, and the key design principles behind it. The …

Composition of services, ie, providing new services by combining existing ones, is a
pervasive idea in ubiquitous computing. We surveyed the field by looking at what features …

Abstract Two decades ago, Mark Weiser advanced a vision of the future of computing
technology. In his vision of ubiquitous computing, the computer of the future will be invisible …

Healthcare is increasingly a collaborative effort involving caregivers from several different
organizations providing services to the same patient. This is particularly the case in care for …

In ubiquitous computing, end-user composition allows users to combine multiple single-
purpose devices into new, interesting constellations. In PalCom–a ubiquitous middleware …

Future Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems need to combine heterogeneous IoT components
and support weak connectivity. This paper introduces ComPOS, a domain-specific language …

Pervasive computing is a vision about computers blending into the background, being there
to assist us when we need them, but not requiring constant attention. The vision covers …

Ubiquitous computing provides the vision of a smart space filled with various smart devices
and services where users can navigate with seamless interaction. To achieve such an …

Ab stra ct This thesis describes the relation between software architectural development and
use practices in the field of Ubiquitous Computing. The main objective is the evaluation of an …
