Increasing the Ease of Deployment in Ubiquitous Environments
Kazutaka Matsuzaki, Shinichi Honiden · 2007
In the near future, applications with location-aware capabilities could be major development targets in the software industry. The current development frameworks rarely pay attention to developing applications for multiple ubiquitous environments. From the perspective of porting or updating applications, there are two dependencies: spatial and localized. These are dependencies on a single environment in which an application is deployed. We propose a new framework that uses a spatio-temporal scope (STS) model to ease deployment of location-aware applications by lessening these dependencies. We describe our model and explain the roles of the STS in the development stages of an application
