Abstract
This paper proposes the design of a distributed shell system, DISHES, for ubiquitous computing environment, as the interface middleware between a mobile user and the ambient computers. With DISHES, a mobile user can issue a command containing programs and location of data, the mobile devices will retrieve the data from the specified location and automatically look for the required program to process the data from the computing environments. Moreover, a complicated task may be performed by gluing several primitive programs. Thus, functions of hardware and software on mobile devices may be kept as simple as possible, and the development costs may be reduced.
