Abstract

Currently, users interact with computer systems at the level of applications or devices. In the reality of ubiquitous computing it is neither acceptable nor scalable to expect that users keep track of all their activities, explicitly migrate them, and configure resources as they need them. We conceptualize a user environment as an aggregation of the whole activity of a user in a ubiquitous system. In this paper we define a user environment in a ubiquitous system. We also propose a software architecture that maintains user environments, deploys and adjusts them to underlying computing spaces, as necessary.
