This paper proposes the use of service-based architectures as a way to bring the benefits of ubiquitous computing solutions to real world problems. We compare this services approach to the traditional view of computer applications as user tools, noticing that service providers can bring significant

We present a ubiquitous service environment for teamwork, supported by Active Documents. The environment consists of a physically dressed conference room and a software architecture based on Java and Jini.

of information system. The wave of standardization was not limited to communication protocols, but rather, numerous technologies used by information systems at the time became standardized. Furthermore, convenience of a user improved because various information services cooperated through a network

Abstract. A context-aware ubiquitous service composition technology is proposed. This can be used in both enterprise and consumer communication service environments. Because the context-awareness is the one of the most important factors in ubiquitous computing, it is insufficient in conventional

We are entering the age of ubiquitous communication tech-nologies. Services will be available whenever and wherever needed. Applications will have connectivity anytime, any-where. If you would like to have a look at the ubiquitous future this will create, then we invite you to take part

The combination of ubiquitous connectivity (via mobile handsets) and ubiquitous context (via RF tags) enables an intriguing future of contextually configured ubiquitous services. This position paper presents some thoughts on the service architecture challenges for delivering such services

As digital devices with communication capability become more pervasive, the net-work performance of a corresponding server needs to be improved. In this paper, we present the hardware and software for offloading the socket processing in order to im-prove the network performance of a server. The experimental results showed that the proposed solution could improve the network performance of a typical solution signifi-cantly. Furthermore, the proposed solution can provide the binary compatibility with the BSD socket standard such that the existing network programs can be used without modi-fication and/or recompilation.
