Application-aware adaptation for mobile computing

by M. Satyanarayanan, Brian Noble, Puneet Kumar, Morgan Price - Operating Systems Review , 1995
"... This paper identifies application-aware adaptation as an essential capability of mobile clients, and provides an overview of Odyssey, an architecture that supports this capability. Functionality that has hitherto been implemented monolithically must now be split between the operating system and indi ..."

A Programming Interface for Application-Aware Adaptation in Mobile Computing

by Brian D. Noble, Morgan Price, M. Satyanarayanan - Computing Systems , 1995
"... Mobile clients face wide variations in network conditions and local resource availability when accessing remote data. Coping with this uncertainty requires the ability to retrieve and present data at varying degrees of fidelity. In this paper we present applicaton-aware adaptation as a solution to t ..."

to this problem. The essence of our solution is a collaborative partnership between applications and the operating system. We describe the Odyssey API for application-aware adaptation and demonstrate its use in accessing two types of data: video and maps.

Agile Application-Aware Adaptation for Mobility

by Brian D. Noble, M. Satyanarayanan, Dushyanth Narayanan, James Eric Tilton, Jason Flinn, Kevin R. Walker - SOSP-16 , 1997
"... In this paper we show that application-aware adaptation, a collaborative partnership between the operating system and applications, offers the most general and effective approach to mobile information access. We describe the design of Odyssey, a prototype implementing this approach, and show how it ..."

A survey of context-aware mobile computing research

by Guanling Chen, David Kotz , 2000
"... Context-aware computing is a mobile computing paradigm in which applications can discover and take advantage of contextual information (such as user location, time of day, nearby people and devices, and user activity). Since it was proposed about a decade ago, many researchers have studied this topi ..."

The Anatomy of a Context-Aware Application

by Andy Harter, Andy Hopper, Pete Steggles, Andy Ward, Paul Webster - WIRELESS NETWORKS, VOL , 1999
"... We describe a platform for context-aware computing which enables applications to follow mobile users as they move around a building. The platform is particularly suitable for richly equipped, networked environments. The only item a user is required to carry is a small sensor tag, which identifies th ..."

A Highly Adaptive Distributed Routing Algorithm for Mobile Wireless Networks

by Vincent D. Park, M. Scott Corson , 1997
"... We present a new distributed routing protocol for mobile, multihop, wireless networks. The protocol is one of a family of protocols which we term "link reversal" algorithms. The protocol's reaction is structured as a temporally-ordered sequence of diffusing computations; each computat ..."

computation consisting of a sequence of directed l i nk reversals. The protocol is highly adaptive, efficient and scalable; being best-suited for use in large, dense, mobile networks. In these networks, the protocol's reaction to link failures typically involves only a localized "single pass

Cyberguide: A Mobile Context-Aware Tour Guide

by Gregory D. Abowd, Christopher G. Atkeson, Jason Hong, Sue Long, Rob Kooper, Mike Pinkerton , 1996
"... Future computing environments will free the user from the constraints of the desktop. Applications for a mobile environment should take advantage of contextual information, suach as position, to offer greater services to the user. In his paper, we present the Cyberguide project, in which we are buil ..."

Energy-aware adaptation for mobile applications

by Jason Flinn , M. Satyanarayanan - 17TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES (SO SP '99), PUBLISHED AS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW , 1999
"... In this paper, we demonstrate that a collaborative relationship between the operating system and applications can be used to meet user-specified goals for battery duration. We first show how applications can dynamically modify their behavior to conserve energy. We then show how the Linux operating s ..."

system can guide such adaptation to yield a batterylife of desired duration. By monitoring energy supply and demand, it is able to select the correct tradeoff between energy conservation and application quality. Our evaluation shows that this approach can meet goals that extend battery life by as much

RADAR: an in-building RF-based user location and tracking system

by Paramvir Bahl, Venkata N. Padmanabhan , 2000
"... The proliferation of mobile computing devices and local-area wireless networks has fostered a growing interest in location-aware systems and services. In this paper we present RADAR, a radio-frequency (RF) based system for locating and tracking users inside buildings. RADAR operates by recording and ..."
