Managing the follow-me semantics to build large-scale pervasive applications

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present the concept of follow-me semantics of the large-scale pervasive application and discuss the features and services to its implementation based on the integration of three computing fields: mobile, context-aware and grid computing. We also discuss the adopted context-aware adaptation model, main feature embedded in both applications and middleware design, to allow the wide physical and logical mobility.
