One of the most important values, added through the use of technology, is the ability to bridge different learning situations across time and space. This can be accomplished through virtual knowledge spaces which provide means to work over a period of time with different people located at different places. However, most current mobility s-supporting CSCL/W platforms lack facilities for distributing cooperation objects in a way that make them available when needed. Our approach for solving this problem is to provide a network-transparent persistence layer for storing and accessing objects in the network of participating nodes. Our solution takes the needs of CSCW applications into account and uses state of the art mechanisms for object distribution and load balancing.","PeriodicalId":118503,"journal":{"name":"Percom Workshop Supplement Papers","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121874854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our model is unique compared to existing approaches as we view a pervasive educational (e.g., university campus) environment as comprising myriad mobile services, which are \"hanging\" over users (e.g., staffs, students, etc.), but different services are appropriate in different contexts. These services can be downloaded and cached on the user's device (e.g., a laptop or pocket pc device) for future re-use. Our design is also different in that it is not only able to deliver mobile learning services at right contexts, but it also provides control over the services running in particular contexts.","PeriodicalId":118503,"journal":{"name":"Percom Workshop Supplement Papers","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128747134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
