Understanding Code Mobility

by Alfonso Fuggetta, Gian Pietro Picco, Giovanni Vigna - IEEE COMPUTER SCIENCE PRESS , 1998
"... The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the desired degree of configurability, ..."

A survey of context-aware mobile computing research

by Guanling Chen, David Kotz , 2000
"... Context-aware computing is a mobile computing paradigm in which applications can discover and take advantage of contextual information (such as user location, time of day, nearby people and devices, and user activity). Since it was proposed about a decade ago, many researchers have studied this topi ..."

A Survey of active network Research

by David L. Tennenhouse, Jonathan M. Smith - IEEE Communications , 1997
"... Active networks are a novel approach to network architecture in which the switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. This approach is motivated by both lead user applications, which perform user-driven computation at nodes within the network today, ..."
