2. 1. The effectiveness of a full-mobility architecture for wireless mobile computing and personal communications

   Author : George Yuejin Liu; Gerald Maguire; Randy Katz; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mobile Computing; Mobile-API; Mobile Agent; Mobile Floating Agent; Intelligent Agent; Full-Mobility; Mobility Architecture; Mobility Awareness; Location Awareness; Location Prediction; Mobile Personal Communications.;

   Abstract : The emergence of wireless mobile computing, especially the mobility of computers, introduces challenging new problems that were encountered in neither the design and implementation of conventional mobile networks or in fixed computer networks. A critical and challenging problem, for mobile computing and personal communications, is how to fully cope with the special characteristics of the mobile wireless environment, i. READ MORE

4. 2. Situation awareness in pervasive computing systems : reasoning, verification, prediction

   Author : Andrey Boytsov; Christian Becker; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; situation awareness; context awareness; pervasive computing; ubiquitous computing; context prediction; Pervasive Mobile Computing; Distribuerade datorsystem;

   Abstract : The paradigm of pervasive computing aims to integrate the computing technologies in a graceful and transparent manner, and make computing solutions available anywhere and at any time. Different aspects of pervasive computing, like smart homes, smart offices, social networks, micromarketing applications, PDAs are becoming a part of everyday life. READ MORE

5. 3. Striking a balance : Managing collaborative multitasking in computer-supported cooperation

   Author : Rikard Harr; Victor Kaptelinin; Mikael Wiberg; Oskar Juhlin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer-supported Cooperative Work; articulation work; individual task execution; balance; interruptions; availability; awareness; interaction; information technology; multitasking; task switching; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis is a collection of six papers and a cover paper reporting an exploration of how to strike a balance between individual task execution and work articulation in Computer-supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). The interest in this theme is motivated by an increased reliance of IT-supported cooperative work arrangements in modern organizations, the fragmented layout of work for multitasking individuals and reports on various forms of overload, increased level of stress and anxiety experienced by workers active in these organizations.

6. 4. Exploiting Energy Awareness in Mobile Communication

   Author : Ekhiotz Jon Vergara Alonso; Simin Nadjm-Tehrani; Daniele Puccinelli; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wireless transmission energy; energy consumption; mobile devices; power measurements; application energy; data pattern; trace-based simulation;

   Abstract : Although evolving mobile technologies bring millions of users closer to the vision of information anywhere-anytime, device battery depletions hamper the quality of experience to a great extent. The massive explosion of mobile applications with the ensuing data exchange over the cellular infrastructure is not only a blessing to the mobile user, but also has a price in terms of rapid discharge of the device battery.

7. 5. Channel Prediction and Target Tracking for Multi-Agent Systems

   Author : Markus Fröhle; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gaussian processes; multitarget tracking; channel prediction; extended target tracking; Multi-agent system; posterior fusion; location uncertainty;

   Abstract : Mobile moving agents as part of a multi-agent system (MAS) utilize the wireless communication channel to disseminate information and to coordinate between each other. This channel is error-prone and the transmission quality depends on the environment as well as on the configuration of the transmitter and the receiver. READ MORE
