Book Chapter
Liu, Q., & Linge, N. (2008). A novel platform for context maintenance and discovery in a ubiquitous environment. In M. Guo, Z. Wang, F. Tang, & C. Xu (Eds.), IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing, 2008. EUC '08 (565-570). Los Alamitos, California, USA: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. https://doi.org/10.1109/EUC.2008.100

Context maintenance and discovery, which aim to represent, manage and share context information, have been discussed since context-awareness was presented in the 1990s. These become more challenging when being applied to a ubiquitous environment wher... Read More about A novel platform for context maintenance and discovery in a ubiquitous environment.
