Abstract

A framework for the dynamic aggregation of ubiquitouscomputers is presented. The framework aggregates applicationsfrom more than one mobile component that can migratefrom computer to computer during the execution ofapplications. Using location-tracking systems, the frameworkcan spatially bind partitioned applications to usersand other things and dynamically allocate and migrate afederation of partitioned applications on multiple computersaccording to the capabilities and locations of the computersand the positions of users. The framework also providesinter-component communications and component relocationsemantics so that an application made up componentscan adapt its structure and functionality to changes inresource availability and the physical environment. A prototypeimplementation of the framework built on a Java-basedmobile agent system and its applications are described.
