Abstract

The increasing proliferation of mobile devices has raised the expectations for user-customized and environment-aware services. However, mobile context-aware systems inherently feature characteristics of distribution and heterogeneity which pose great challenges to their developers. This paper focuses on context distribution in mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. We propose a peer-to-peer based context distribution approach and evaluate it against the derived requirements.

The work is partially funded by the European Union (6th Framework Programme, contract number 35166) in the scope of the MUSIC project. The authors from the European Media Laboratory GmbH are supported by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
