Abstract: | This paper presents a framework for providing dynamically deployable services in ubiquitous computing settings. The goal of
the framework is to provide people, places, and objects with computational functionalities to support and annotate them. Using
RFID-based tracking systems, the framework detects the locations of physical entities, such as people or things, and deploys
services bound to the entities at proper computing devices near where they are located. It enables location-based and personalized
information services to be implemented as mobile agents and operated at stationary or mobile computing devices, which are
at appropriate locations, even if the services do not have any location-information. This paper presents the rationale, design,
implementation, and applications of our prototype infrastructure. |
