Survey: Agent-based Middlewares for Context Awareness
نویسنده
چکیده
In the last few years, many middlewares for context awareness have claimed to be agent-based. In this paper, we make a survey on the most known frameworks. We classify them according to their level of conformity to the agent paradigm and we discuss the usefulness of agents in these frameworks. Based on this survey, we enumerate several advantages of using agents in context-aware middlewares and give illustrative examples. We also point to the weakness of existing frameworks and identify challenges to be addressed.

Mobile Agent Middlewares for Context-Aware Applications
Wireless communications and the Internet are converging towards an integrated scenario where both traditional and novel services should be ubiquitously accessible, independently of the mobility of users, terminals, resources and service components. Mobility-enabled service provisioning introduces several challenging issues to address: from client/server location change at provision time, to wid...
متن کاملSupporting Context-Awareness: A Taxonomic Review
Context-aware applications realise the vision of ubiquitous computing by utilising information gathered from their environment to automatically adapt behaviour. To support the development of such applications, researchers have developed infrastructures, architectures, middlewares, and toolkits. This paper presents a taxonomy based on a review of these support infrastructures for context-aware c...
متن کاملA Survey of P2P Middlewares
This paper examines a range of existing middlewares available for developing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications. P2P middlewares provide software components that can be used for rapidly developing P2P applications. P2P applications developed using P2P middlewares build upon tested components and services and hence tend to be more reliable and bug-free. Current middlewares for P2P have different le...
متن کاملHybrid Dissemination Based Scalable and Adaptive Context Delivery for Ubiquitous Computing
Context delivery is an inevitable issue for ubiquitous computing. Context-aware middlewares perform all the functions of context sensing, inferring and delivery to context-aware applications. But one of the major issues for these middlewares is to devise a context delivery scheme that is scalable as well as efficient. Pure unicast or pure broadcast based dissemination can not provide scalabilit...
متن کاملA survey about context-aware middleware
Context-aware systems represent extremely complex and heterogeneous systems. The need for middleware to bind components together is well recognized and many attempts to build middleware for context-aware system have been made. One of the goal of this paper is to provide a general introduction about the evolution of the middlewares and than to proceed with an analysis of the requirements and the...
