Abstract

A common focus shared by researchers in mobile, ubiquitous and wearable computing is the attempt to break away from the traditional desktop computing paradigm. Computational services need to become as mobile as their users and be extended to take advantage of the constantly changing context in which they are accessed. This paper will report on work done in the Future Computing Environments Group at Georgia Tech. We describe solutions we have generated to provide a flexible context-aware infrastructure and several applications that take advantage of context-awareness to allow freedom from traditional desktop computing.
