A programming environment for ubiquitous computing environment

Abstract

The goal of this research is to provide an advanced programming environment for ubiquitous computing, which facilitates the development of secure and reliable ubiquitous software. A discussion follows on the design and implementation of a ubiquitous programming framework, which is based on high-level policy description language. A context-based access control manager(CACM) was implemented for context-aware access control, while an adaptation engine was integrated for context adaptation in dynamically changing environments. A simulator was also implemented for conducting experiments with this framework for ubiquitous applications.
