Sie ermöglichen es, zeitnah Informationen an mobile Nutzer zu übertragen. Hierbei spielt der Aufenthaltsort der Nutzer weitestgehend keine Rolle, er/sie ist quasi jederzeit und allerorts erreichbar. Im Gegensatz zu der Einfachheit der Informationskonsumtion ist das Entwickeln von Apps nicht trivial. Hierzu ist Expertenwissen notwendig.

Cooperative ubiquitous environments support user interaction and cooperative work by adapting to ... more Cooperative ubiquitous environments support user interaction and cooperative work by adapting to the prevalent situation of the present users. They are typically complex and have many environment components-interconnected devices and software modules-that realise new interaction techniques and facilitate collaboration. Despite this complexity, users need to be able to easily adapt their environments to the respective needs of the workgroups. In this paper, the authors present the CollaborationBus Aqua editor, a sophisticated, yet lightweight editor for configuring ubiquitous environments in groups. The CollaborationBus Aqua editor simplifies the configuration and offers advanced concepts for sharing and browsing configurations among users.

Contextual knowledge allows software systems to adapt to personal preferences of users and to make data processing context-aware. Different sensors or measurement approaches used for recognizing the values of particular context elements vary greatly in their energy consumption. This paper presents approaches for reducing the energy consumption of utilizing smartphone sensors. We discuss sensor substitution strategies as well as logical dependencies among sensor measurements. The paper describes the first milestone towards a generalization of such strategies. Furthermore, We show that energy awareness benefits from a more abstract view on context elements.

They offer the chance to promptly provide information to mobile users almost independent of their location. However, many potential information providers do not have the necessary programming skills required to realize mobile applications (apps). Furthermore, different smartphones use different operating systems that support different programming languages. In this paper we present our research towards a target platform independent specification and generation of such apps. Hence, the goal of our work is to provide a system to non-technical users that enables them to create their own apps.
