After a survey of the specific features of ubiquitous computing applications and
corresponding middleware requirements, we list the various paradigms used in the main …

Developing ubiquitous applications is particularly complex. Beyond the dynamic aspect of
such applications, the evolution of computing towards the multiplication of mobile access …

Our works on software architectures for highly dynamic environments, such as ubiquitous
computing, led us to consider models at runtime. Indeed, the biggest challenge of these …

Highly dynamic computing environments, like ubiquitous and pervasive computing
environments, require frequent adaptation of applications. Context is a key to adapt suiting …

Today, a growing number of physical objects in our surroundings are connected to the
Internet and provide the digital world with an interface to the physical world through sensors …

This chapter examines three solutions to issues of middleware in ubiquitous computing.
Firstly, a dynamic software infrastructure to have access to the heterogeneous software …

People often behave in Smart Environments by relying on spatial metaphors that deserve to
turn into architectural abstractions. The paper presents a set of space-aware communication …

Composing applications by considering in parallel both software components and UI
elements is a complex process not yet very well supported by any current composition …

Avec l'apparition des paradigmes de l'intelligence ambiante et de la robotique ubiquitaire,
on assiste à l'émergence de nouveaux systèmes intelligents ambiants visant à créer et gérer …

Cette thèse traite du problème du développement d'espaces intelligents par l'utilisateur final
sous l'angle de l'Interaction Homme-Machine et de l'Intelligence Ambiante. Dans les …
