The Anatomy of a Context-Aware Application
- 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 ..."

them to the system and locates them accurately in three dimensions. The platform builds a dynamic model of the environment using these location sensors and resource information gathered by telemetry software, and presents it in a form suitable for application programmers. Use of the platform
The Active Badge Location System
- ACM Transactions on Information Systems
, 1992
"... cation is the `pager system'. In order to locate a person a signal is sent out by a central facility that addresses a particular receiver unit (beeper) and produces an audible signal. In addition, it may display a number to which the called-party should phone back (some systems allow a vocal me ..."

A survey of context-aware mobile computing research
, 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 ..."

this topic and built several context-aware applications to demonstrate the usefulness of this new technology. Context-aware applications (or the system infrastructure to support them), however, have never been widely available to everyday users. In this survey of research on context-aware systems
Managing Energy and Server Resources in Hosting Centers
- In Proceedings of the 18th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles (SOSP
, 2001
"... Interact hosting centers serve multiple service sites from a common hardware base. This paper presents the design and implementation of an architecture for resource management in a hosting center op-erating system, with an emphasis on energy as a driving resource management issue for large server cl ..."

by estimating the value of their effects on service performance. A greedy resource allocation algorithm adjusts resource prices to balance supply and demand, allocating resources to their most efficient use. A reconfigurable server switching infrastructure directs request traffic to the servers assigned to each

Culture in action: Symbols and strategies
- American Sociological Review
, 1986
"... Culture influences action not by providing the ultimate values toward which action is oriented, but by shaping a repertoire or "tool kit " of habits, skills, and styles from which people construct "strategies of action. " Two models of cultural influence are developed, for settle ..."

The benefits of frequent positive affect: Does happiness lead to success?
- PSYCHOLOGICAL BULLETIN
, 2005
"... Numerous studies show that happy individuals are successful across multiple life domains, including marriage, friendship, income, work performance, and health. The authors suggest a conceptual model to account for these findings, arguing that the happiness–success link exists not only because succes ..."
