      Applying utility functions to adaptation planning for home automation applications 

      Bratskas, Pyrros; Paspallis, Nearchos; Kakousis, Konstantinos; Papadopoulos, George Angelos (2009)
      A pervasive computing environment typically comprises multiple embedded devices that may interact together and with mobile users. These users are part of the environment, and they experience it through a variety of devices ...

      Architecture for provision of context-aware web applications based on web services 

      Kapitsaki, Georgia M.; Kateros, D. A.; Venieris, Iakovos St (2008)
      Mobile and pervasive computing is gaining significant importance in the latest years. Context-awareness constitutes an essential aspect - almost a requirement - of mobile services in these environments. In this paper, we ...

      Concept-based discovery of mobile services 

      Skouteli, C.; Samaras, George S.; Pitoura, Evaggelia 1967- (2005)
      In this paper, we consider semantic service discovery in a global computing environment. We propose creating a dynamic overlay network by grouping together semantically related services. Each such group of services is ...

      DBGlobe: A service-oriented P2P system for global computing 

      Pitoura, Evaggelia 1967-; Abiteboul, S.; Pfoser, D.; Samaras, George S.; Vazirgiannis, M. (2003)
      The challenge of peer-to-peer computing goes beyond simple file sharing. In the DBGlobe project, we view the multitude of peers carrying data and services as a super-database. Our goal is to develop a data management system ...

      Mobile commerce: Vision and challenges (location and its management) 

      Samaras, George S. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2002)
      Mobile computing is distributed computing that involves elements whose location changes in the course of computation. Elements may be software components such as mobile agents or moving objects-data or hardware such as ...

      mPERSONA: Personalized portals for the wireless user: An agent approach 

      Panayiotou, Christoforos; Samaras, George S. (2004)
      The needs of the wireless and mobile user regarding information access and services are quite different than those of the desktop user. This need is not about browsing the Web but about receiving personalized services that ...
