By using various data inputs, ubiquitous computing systems detect
their current usage context, automatically adapt their services to
the user’s situational needs and interact with other services or
resources in their environment on an ad-hoc basis. Designing such
self-adaptive, context-aware knowledge processing systems is, in
itself, a formidable challenge. This book presents core findings
from the VENUS project at the Interdisciplinary Research Center for
Information System Design (ITeG) at Kassel University, where
researchers from different fields, such as computer science,
information systems, human-computer interaction and law, together
seek to find general principles and guidelines for the design of
socially aware ubiquitous computing systems. To this end, system
usability, user trust in the technology and adherence to privacy
laws and regulations were treated as particularly important
criteria in the context of socio-technical system design. During
the project, a comprehensive blueprint for systematic,
interdisciplinary software development was developed, covering the
particular functional and non-functional design aspects of
ubiquitous computing at the interface between technology and human
beings. The organization of the book reflects the structure of the
VENUS work program. After an introductory part I, part II provides
the groundwork for VENUS by presenting foundational results from
all four disciplines involved. Subsequently, part III focuses on
methodological research funneling the development activities into a
common framework. Part IV then covers the design of the
demonstrators that were built in order to develop and evaluate the
VENUS method. Finally, part V is dedicated to the evaluation phase
to assess the user acceptance of the new approach and applications.
The presented findings are especially important for researchers in
computer science, information systems, and human-computer
interaction, but also for everyone working on the acceptance of new
technologies in society in general.
Distributed applications are a necessity in most central
application sectors of the contemporary information society,
including e-commerce, e-banking, e-learning, e-health,
telecommunication and transportation. This results from a
tremendous growth of the role that the Internet plays in business,
administration and our everyday activities. This trend is going to
be even further expanded in the context of advances in broadband
wireless communication. New Developments in Distributed
Applications and Interoperable Systems focuses on the techniques
available or under development with the goal to ease the burden of
constructing reliable and maintainable interoperable information
systems providing services in the global communicating environment.
The topics covered in this book include: * Context-aware
applications; * Integration and interoperability of distributed
systems; * Software architectures and services for open distributed
systems; * Management, security and quality of service issues in
distributed systems; * Software agents and mobility; * Internet and
other related problem areas.The book contains the proceedings of
the Third International Working Conference on Distributed
Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS'2001), which was held
in September 2001 in Krakow, Poland, and sponsored by the
International Federation on Information Processing (IFIP). The
conference program presents the state of the art in research
concerning distributed and interoperable systems. This is a topical
research area where much activity is currently in progress.
Interesting new aspects and innovative contributions are still
arising regularly. The DAIS series of conferences is one of the
main international forums where these important findings are
reported.
Die 16. GI/ITG-Fachtagung Kommunikation in Verteilten Systemen
(KiVS 2009) befasst sich als wichtigstes deutschsprachiges Forum
fur Forschung und Entwicklung auf den Gebieten Kommunikation und
Verteilte Systeme mit einer grossen Vielfalt von innovativen und
zukunftsorientierten Fragestellungen. Sie spannt dabei einen Bogen
von allgegenwartigen verteilten Anwendungen uber
Middleware-Konzepte und Protokolltechniken bis hin zu modernen
Netztechniken mit ihren Mobilitats- und Sicherheitsfragen. Die KiVS
dient der Standortbestimmung aktueller Entwicklungen, der
Prasentation laufender Forschungsarbeiten und der Diskussion
zukunftstrachtiger Ansatze fur die Kommunikation in Verteilten
Systemen. "
New information and communication technologies unquestionably
brought about enormous changes that resulted in an ever-increasing
networked society. Indeed, there is no area in the social and
economic world which is unaffected by the recent advances. In
response to these changes scientists from numerous disciplines
teamed up in 1997 to lay a foundation for a common theory of
networks. The objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the
mechanisms behind social, economic, technical and other kinds of
networks in order to develop a unified theory of networks. Such a
theory would then guide public and private decisions concerning the
planning, operations and controlling of all kinds of networks. The
contributions in this book represent the first steps toward this
ambitious goal.

Distribution and interoperability in heterogeneous computing
environments are the key requirements for state-of-the-art
information processing systems. Distributed applications are making
a critical contribution in many application sectors, such as office
automation, finance, manufacturing, telecommunications, aerospace,
and transportation. Users demand support for the construction,
integration and management of their application systems as well as
for the interoperability of independent application components.
DAIS '97 provides a forum for researchers, application designers
and users to review, discuss and learn about new approaches and
concepts in the fields of distributed applications. DAIS '97 will
especially focus on the interoperability between different
applications and services, different implementations of the same
and of different distributed platforms.
