Managing ubiquitous communications and services 2013

Meer over het boek

Ubiquitous communications and services, integral to pervasive computing and smart space applications, pose significant management challenges for delivering adaptive services across diverse networks, including mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks. Key challenges encompass managing user-centric and context services, ensuring scalability, addressing system and semantic heterogeneity, and providing intelligent support for user applications. Current management systems must adapt to the complexity and automation demanded by pervasive computing. The MUCS workshop fosters collaboration between Ubiquitous Computing and Communications Management, offering a platform for researchers and practitioners to tackle theoretical, technological, and organizational challenges while presenting advancements in management techniques for these applications. The 2013 workshop featured a single-track program with a keynote presentation, peer-reviewed papers, and interactive sessions. Topics included managing ubiquitous services and policies, context-aware service management, and infrastructure virtualization in next-gen wireless sensor networks, providing insights into the state of the art and future research directions. The keynote by Prof. Mani Srivastava from UCLA addressed "Balancing Behavioral Privacy and Information Utility in Pervasive Sensing," highlighting the challenges in designing sensitive sensor information architectures.
