Pervasive connectivity over short-range RF technology will provide mobile devices access to interaction opportunities with people, services and contents, being offered by other nearby mobile devices as wen as by local bot spot infrastructures. Currently the mobile device is dumb and the infrastructure knows everything, or vice versa. Mobile devices sucb as PDAs and smart phones are becoming more and more powerful and bot spots provide more and more services. One of the major problems that have to be solved before real pervasiveness is achieved, is how to enable a specific mobile device to use services offered at a hot spot that bas Just been detected. With the variety of mobile devices, platforms, programming languages, operating systems etc. it is very likely that the mobile and the hot spot do not use the same components,i.e. they are not capable to cooperate. We present a system architecture and middlewarel for pervasive connectivity that is based on open standards such as UPnP and Web Services. Thus, it allows out of the box interaction between mobile devices, services and hot spot infrastructures.
In 2006, during the Immersed Tunnel Project in the harbour of Oslo, Norway, a c.9.4 m‐long boat was discovered. The boat was found in the area historically known as Sørenga, and was named Sørenga 7, following six other finds in the area excavated from the early 1970s to the 1990s. The boat was documented digitally piece by piece, and a scale model was made in cardboard and polyamide. The deposition of the boat in the transition between the 17th and 18th centuries focuses attention on life in the early modern harbour of Christiania (Oslo).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
