  <description><![CDATA[A feature common to many pervasive computing scenarios is that devices acquire information about their environment from peers through short-range ad-hoc wireless connections and use it to maintain a model of their current context. A fundamental issue in such situations, is that knowledge obtained from peer devices may vary in reliability with devices providing incorrect data either inadvertently out of ignorance or other limitations or intentionally in pursuit of malicious or self-serving goa...]]></description>

Traditional proxy based solutions require constant out of band communication with the proxy. 
However, our system does not require constant communication with the user. Instead, the user

  <description><![CDATA[Social Network Analysis has emerged as a key paradigm in modern sociology, technology, and information sciences. The paradigm stems from the view that the attributes of an individual in a network are less important than their ties (relationships) with other individuals in the network. Exploring the nature and strength of these ties can help understand the structure and dynamics of social networks and explain real-world phenomena, ranging from organizational efficiency to the spread of informa...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Policies are being increasingly used for controlling the behavior of
complex multi-agent systems. The use of policies allows administrators to regulate
agent behavior without changing source code or requiring the consent or
cooperation of the agents being governed. However, policy-based control can
sometimes encounter difficulties when applied to agents that act in pervasive
environments characterized by frequent and unpredictable changes. In such cases,

  <description><![CDATA[This paper proposes a novel distributed service discovery protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Networks. The protocol is based on the concept of peer-to-peer caching of service advertisements and group-based intelligent forwarding of service requests. It does not require a service to register to a registry or lookup server. Services are described using an ontology based on the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML+OIL). We exploit the semantic class/subClass hierarchy of DAML to describe service groups and...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Mobile information access involves retrieving information
from wired service providers. Often there are situations
where the information is not available from a single
service provider but can be obtained by combining information
from multiple service providers. It is inefficient and
some times impossible for a resource poor mobile device
connected over a low bandwidth wireless link to coordinate
such activity. In this paper, we describe a middleware
to support this mode of access fro...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The past few years have seen significant work in mobile data management,
typically based on the client/proxy/server model. Mobile/wireless devices
are treated as clients that are data consumers only, while data sources are on
servers that typically reside on the wired network. With the advent of "pervasive
computing" environments an alternative scenario arises where mobile devices
gather and exchange data from not just wired sources, but also from their ethereal
environment and one anot...]]></description>

of wireless-enabled environments
have increased the

discovery protocols (SDPs).
Typically, service discovery involves a
client, service provider, and lookup or

These devices, whether carried on our person or embedded in our homes, businesses and classrooms, will connect via wireless and wired links to one another and to the global networking infrastructure. The result will be a networking milieu with a new level of openness. The localized and dynamic nature of the...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The problem of data management has been studied widely in the field
of mobile ad-hoc networks and pervasive computing. An issue is that
finding the required data depends on chance encounter with the
source of data. Most existing research take the semantics of data
into account while caching data onto mobile devices from the wired
sources. In this work, we propose that the mobile devices decide
what to cache based on the queries they encounter. The scheme
