Mobile applications running on personal devices, like smartphones,
PDAs, or laptop computers, create a fascinating market for many new
mobile services. Mobile commerce, location-based services,
multimedia messaging, or mobile gaming are expected to constitute a
main driving-force for technological advancements, creating a new
source of revenue for infrastructure providers and developers.
Based on what we observe today, the logical next steps lead to
integrated infrastructures and applications supporting "pervasive
computing." Whatever this future will look like, the basic
cornerstones will be: (i) highly nomadic users, (ii) personalized
devices running smart applications, (iii) pervasive smart
infrastructures, and (iv) efficient communication for end-to-end
integration of all building blocks. This book introduces the
amazing world of pervasive computing, leads stepby- step through
the new design challenges for pervasive computing applications and
identifies the key challenges for engineering middleware supporting
pervasive applications. Based on the well-known publish/subscribe
paradigm it demonstrates how middleware systems can be designed to
explicitly make use of "context" of users and applications. It then
shows how context information can be leveraged for optimizing the
efficiency of communication inside a notification service. The book
addresses developers of middleware, mobile application designers,
as well as interested individuals who want to learn more about the
challenges of next generation pervasive and mobile systems.
