Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the role of the social group in aUbiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) environment as a sourceof contextual information. A model is presented to addressthe social group member's perceptions of how devices ina Ubicomp environment should aid them in collaboration.Based on the model a distributed context-aware group membershipmanagement scheme is developed. We then presenta prototype implementation for a context-aware ephemeralgroup membership management scheme, along with a sampleapplication, and experimental results that demonstratethe feasibility of our system.
