Interesting textures form on the surfaces of objects as the result of external chemical, mechanical, and biological agents. Simulating these textures is necessary to generate models for realistic image synthesis. The textures formed are progressively variant, with the variations depending on the global and local geometric context.

IEEE Pervasive Computing, 2011
Much of the past pervasive computing research has been devoted to systems composed of a small number of devices that interact with a single individual or a small group of users. Body-worn sensors and sensors embedded in the user's environment were used to infer user location, activity, and information about the user's immediate surroundings, shaping ...

Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Middleware for pervasive and ad-hoc computing - MPAC '05, 2005
Advances in MEMS technology, wireless communications, and digital electronics have enabled the development of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional sensor nodes that integrating the ability of sensing, computing, and communication. The low per node cost will enable the development of densely distributed sensornet for a wide range of applications ...

International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS'06), 2006
A spatial proximity based spontaneous interaction approach for "shared nothing" peer-to-peer systems is proposed. Mobile peers that come spatially close to each other wirelessly exchange self describing profiles encoded in an XML dialect. Each peer individually conducts a similarity analysis of the semistructured data contained in the received profile,

Service-Oriented Context-Awareness and Context-Aware Services
2008This paper describes the design, implementation, deployment, and performance evaluation of a Service-Oriented Wireless Context-Aware System (SOWCAS), a distributed pervasive system having computers, a context-aware middleware server and mobile clients that support context-awareness and high adaptation to context changes for distributed heterogeneous ...

This paper presents the context awareness capabilities of Amit. Amit is a tool that includes both a language and an efficient run-time execution mechanism, aimed at reducing the complexity of active applications. It follows the observation that in many cases, there is a gap between current tools that enable to react to a single event (following the ECA:

This article describes how the changing information about an individual's location, environment, and social situation can be used to initiate and facilitate people's interactions with one another, individually and in groups. Context-aware communication is contrasted with other forms of context-aware computing, and we characterize applications in terms ...

In a dynamic environment, one of the challenges in building context aware applications is the communication paradigm between context providers and end applications. Synchronous communication may not be suitable since all the entities may not be live all the time.

The typical scenario of a user seeking information on the Web requires significant effort to get the desired information. In a world where information is essential, it can be crucial for users to get the desired information quickly even when they are away from their desktop computers.

Wireless sensor networks typically consist of a large number of sensor nodes embedded in a physical space. Such sensors are low-power devices that are primarily used for monitoring several physical phenomena, potentially in remote harsh environments. Spatial and temporal dependencies between the readings at these nodes highly exist in such scenarios ...
