Abstract

In a traditional computing environment, information can be copied and pasted to the operating system's clipboard. This allows information to be moved between applications, and positions within a given application. Although useful when computers are used independently from each other, this technique does not extend to Ubiquitous Computing Environments (UCEs). Support is required in UCEs to allow information to be copied and pasted between displays, computers, applications and positions within a given application. This paper presents a new clipboard model for UCEs applicable to current ubiquitous workspace technologies.
