Distributed profiling in a partitioned ambient network
Volker Bruns, Simon Reymann, Artur R. Lugmayr · 2007
We elaborate a model for distributed profiling and profile sharing in a decentralized network. The proposed solution achieves the goal of supplying devices from the user's environment with personal content, enabling them to offer personalized services. Special emphasis is put on the synchronization of multi-sourced profiles and a detailed procedure that follows the optimistic replication paradigm is presented. The model was verified in a prototype software implementation, called Portable Personality, which is briefly described and an exemplary scenario was realized.
