Abstract

Amongst the challenges of ubiquitous computing is the need to provide management support for personal wireless devices and sensors. In this extended abstract we introduce a policy-based architecture that supports management at varying levels based on the concept of a self-managed cell. Cells include policy-driven agents that support context-based and trust-based access control and system adaptation. Cells can also organize themselves through federation and nesting.
