Meeting the demand for dynamic ubiquitous computing applications requires programming abstractions and development tools tailored to this unique environment. This paper provides a programming framework tailored for ubiquitous computing applications that allows developers to express their applications’ needs in terms of interactive application sessions. These sessions are defined by a set of ope...

Dynamic Data-Driven Avionics Systems (DDDAS) embody ideas from the Dynamic DataDriven Application Systems paradigm by creating a data-driven feedback loop that analyzes spatio-temporal data streams coming from aircraft sensors and instruments, looks for errors in the data signaling potential failure modes, and corrects for erroneous data when possible. In case of emergency, DDDAS need to provid...

The European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS) has been established by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Directorate General for Environment (DG ENV) of the European Commission (EC) in close collaboration with the Member States and neighbour countries. EFFIS is intended as complementary system to national and regional systems in the countries, providing harmonised information require...

The omnipresent pervasiveness of personal devices will expand the applicability of the Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems (DDDAS) paradigm in innumerable ways. While every single smartphone or wearable device is potentially a sensor with powerful computing and data capabilities, privacy and security in the context of human participants must be addressed to leverage the infinite possibiliti...
