Ubiquitous systems generally consist of a set of devices, services and applications that should interoperate in order to provide context-dependent information to the users. Interoperability requirements are usually fulfilled by establishing shared communication protocols (SOAP, JSON, IIOP, and so on) and connection mechanisms (for instance, Wi-Fi or BlueTooth). Therefore, software solutions in ubiquitous systems trend to be highly bond to specific communication-related technologies, making it increasingly complex to incorporate new communication technologies used by end users who are added to the system. In this paper we present various technology independent models and a platform to overcome this problem by decreasing the level of cohesion between communication technologies and software applications to be developed in heterogeneous ubiquitous systems. In fact, this mobile platform is built by instantiating the proposed models to support the development of collaborative applications on scenarios of mobile forensics.
