Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4496))

Abstract

In this paper, we suggested a mobile collaboration framework based on distributed object group framework (DOGF). This paper focuses on the use of this framework to support mobile collaboration. Therefore, we improved the existing work and apply it to the construction of u-healthcare agent services. For supporting mobile collaboration, we divided into two agent types such as the stationary and the moving-typed agents according to the function of mobile devices. The data collected by sensors attached on arbitrary spaces can be shared by 2-typed agents or a home server, and exchanged with each other using the Push and Pull methods. For managing this information, the DOGF provides functions of object group management, storing information and security services to our mobile collaboration framework via defined application interfaces. The agent for executing service functions of mobile devices and an integrated monitoring system on home server are implemented by using TMO scheme. And we used the TMOSM for interactions between distributed components. Finally, we showed via GUI the executablility of healthcare application supporting for medical work in hospitals on our mobile collaboration framework.
