SmartShadow: Models and Methods for Pervasive Computing

SmartShadow: Models and Methods for Pervasive Computing offers an innovative perspective on the concept of pervasive computing. The book introduces the SmartShadow model, which views the user as a kind of "personal shadow" and models pervasive computing environments as user-centered, dynamic virtual personal spaces. Much like a person's shadow in the physical world, this model follows users everywhere and provides them with comprehensive services. The authors present the underlying models, methods, and software infrastructure for SmartShadow and introduce an application for intelligent vehicles. This academic book is a valuable reference for researchers and students in the field of pervasive and ubiquitous computing.
