Using Interface Design Standards to Support Pervasive Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
By definition, pervasive computing should support endless expressions of varying interfaces, contexts and automation. As pervasive computing becomes more prevalent, it is important that designers build systems in support of unique, in-use and user-defined characteristics. We explore this expressiveness and propose the use of existing technologies to enhance it. We investigate the impact of interface design standards on two essential aspects of pervasive computing: device independence and usability. Our findings suggest that the application of proper interface design standards can improve data delivery across independent devices with varied bandwidth and resource availability, thereby providing device independence and improved usability respectively. We demonstrate that through their effect on device independence and usability, interface design standards play an important role in the evolution, expansion and expressiveness of pervasive computing.

A semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملThe Design and Evaluation of a Storage System for Pervasive Computing
Many interesting pervasive applications require the maintenance of state, but few pervasive computing systems provide a compelling system for managing such state. Although conventional storage abstractions can fill some of these needs, the unique character of the pervasive environment suggests slightly different answers. Pervasive applications often have to work with data in forms they were not...

This paper explores the feasibility of applying newly emerging low-cost embedded-Internet devices in support of pervasive computing; a new vision whereby domestic appliances are provided with Internet connections enabling them to be accessed and controlled from anywhere, anytime, via any web based interface. The principal challenges addressed by this work were how to design an embedded-Internet...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
