A peer-to-peer based infrastructure for context distribution in mobile and ubiquitous environments

The increasing proliferation of mobile devices has raised the expectations for user-customized and environment-aware services. However, mobile context-aware systems inherently feature characteristics of distribution and heterogeneity which pose great challenges to their developers. This paper focuses on context distribution in mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. We propose a peer-to-peer based context distribution approach and evaluate it against the derived requirements.status: publishe
