We believe an important part of any pervasive or wearable computing environment is an infrastructure for selecting and employing various sensors into an effective pervasive system. Without a uniform framework, researchers need to design their own ad-hoc structures and there is no common ground for system comparison and evaluation. Thus, our focus is on formulating a framework that can be used t...

The introduction of pervasive computing environments enforce new ways of human-machineinteraction. The welldefined interaction interfaces will make place for other, more intuitive ways of interaction. In a pervasive service environment, the system middleware should take care of capturing the user’s expression of an action intention, solving ambiguousness in this expression, and executing the fi...

We present 3D Evaluation Model for pervasive middlewares with dimensions of Pervasive Environment specific, Quantitative and Qualitative metrics. We expect our approach is viable to evaluate pervasive middleware since it attempts to cover diverse aspects of ubiquitous computing. In this short paper, we have briefly introduced our 3D Evaluation Model and put forth this issue for open discussion ...

With computing and communication capabilities now embedded in most physical objects of the surrounding environment and most users carrying wireless computing devices, the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) / pervasive computing vision [28] pioneered by Mark Weiser [32] is becoming a reality. Devices carried by nomadic users can seamlessly network with a variety of devices, both stationary and mobile, b...

The Appearance of new generation of computer systems, embedded systems, mobile, and also advances in mobile wireless networks, cause to extension of the computation fields. This process, lead to a scenario which is called: “pervasive computing”. The aim of pervasive computing is the presence of computers in all fields of the human life, without the need to his presence, coordinating among all c...
