Software Infrastructure for Pervasive Computing

In combination with evolving technologies, such as small embedded devices and radio enabled Internet connections, new forms of software infrastructures are needed to support this new direction. This new software infrastructure should effectively handle context information of embedded devices in order to enable the development of "Personalized Computing", "Location Based Computing" and "Smart Computing" in general. An embedded device should be able to sense its environment, communicate with embedded devices and should support a more natural way of interaction between humans and digital devices.
