However, broader considerations of usage context and appreciation for research and methodological contributions from other disciplines must be strongly factored into course planning. To achieve both goals, we suggest learning objectives, a general strategy and approach using case-based learning.","PeriodicalId":262138,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Annual Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2004.

Context-based security is an emerging approach. It aims at coping with the security problems resulting from the high heterogeneity and dynamicity of such environments.

In addition, the ability to use mobile devices in unethical ways without being detected is becoming widespread [Popyack, J., et al. (2003)]. It is desirable for mobile devices to automatically configure themselves based on the context of the environment and user preferences for both convenience and security purposes. Having the cell phone switch the ringer off and turn on the vibrate notification in a movie theatre is convenient to the user; while having the video phone disable its video capabilities in a locker room is necessary for others' privacy. We present a preliminary architecture for automatic device configuration in smart environments and explore the issues in negotiating between the device owner's wishes and those of the owner of the smart environment.","PeriodicalId":262138,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Annual Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2004.

It uses an extremely simple API that is easy to program, but still small enough to fit on PDAs and mobile phones. It has been used to implement several systems, including a context-aware application that learns the user's email preferences.","PeriodicalId":262138,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Annual Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2004.

Major topics include low power hardware/software design, user input/output devices, context- and location-awareness, and application case studies. Readings for the course are taken mainly from the recent research literature, as there is no textbook that adequately covers the area. A large portion of the course involves design projects pursued by teams of two to four students; these projects are usually related to ongoing research projects within the department. We conclude with ruminations on ways to improve future offerings of the course.","PeriodicalId":262138,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Annual Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2004.

We envision that in the future, many applications will be distributed, running across many of a user's specialized pervasive devices rather than on a single system. In this case, a user needs the ability to \"log into\" the personal pervasive domain which spans each of the pervasive devices representing this user. In addition, the pervasive devices belonging to the user's pervasive domain must be able to represent this user to external services. We solve the problem of managing the authorization for pervasive devices belonging to a user's personal pervasive domain by introducing a central personal authorization gateway that accompanies the user and allows pervasive devices in the user's pervasive domain to be automatically configured and authorized.","PeriodicalId":262138,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Annual Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2004.

At present, e-Fuzion facilitates electronic communication in a seamless, integrated classroom, giving students additional ways to interact with faculty and each other. E-Fuzion encourages students to participate actively even in large scale class settings. By integrating e-Fuzion into an active space, we enhance the effectiveness of the existing system by taking advantage of the ubiquitous nature of smart devices and their unique communication capabilities. The end result is that students are able to interact, record data and share ideas more quickly than in the traditional classroom.","PeriodicalId":262138,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Annual Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2004.

During the development and feasibility test of FieldCast1, we have found some points to be improved such as customizability of privacy control and performance factors of media handover functions. Thus we made a thorough review of our previous implementation and developed FieldCast2, based on the revised system architecture. We introduce the improvements of the design of FieldCast2, with its system architecture, together with our evaluation of its improvements over the previous system architecture.","PeriodicalId":262138,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Annual Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2004.
