Bridging Physical and Virtual Worlds with Mobile Agents(Mobile Computing)

概要

論文の詳細を見る
This paper presents a general-purpose framework for building and managing location-aware applications in ubiquitous computing settings. The goal of the framework is to provide people, places, and things with computational functionalities to support and annotate them. Using location-tracking systems such as RF (radio-frequency) or IR (infrared)-based sensors, the framework can navigate Java-based mobile agents to stationary or mobile computers near the locations of the entities and places to which the agents are attached, even when these locations change. It allows a mobile user to access personalized services available from computing devices in the environment, and provides location-dependent services to portable computing devices. The paper presents basic concepts of the framework and describes its prototype implementation and several practical applications, including follow-me applications and a navigational assistance system.
