“…The work in [21] presented a reusable architecture for instantiating mobile workspaces, but resource limitation constraints was not considered. This architecture has been reused for the implementation of three mobile collaboration frameworks: building inspections, hospital work, and urban emergency responses.…”

Deploying collaborative applications (e.g. group editors) over mobile devices is problematic because these devices will always be resource-poor and with unstable connectivity and constrained energy. To overcome these limitations, one straightforward solution is to leverage mobile collaboration via the cloud, which is an emerged model based on virtualization for efficient and flexible use of hardware assets and software services over a network without requiring user intervention. However, designing collaborative applications with flexibility and reusability has become a hot topic in mobile cloud computing as no mature models have been proposed yet. In this paper, we describe cloud patterns (i.e. extension of classic design patterns) focusing on the description of mobile real-time data sharing through the cloud. Our design model consists of two levels: the first one provides self-protocol to create clones of mobile devices, manage users' groups and recover failed clones in the cloud. As for the second level, it supports group collaboration mechanisms for data sharing between mobile users via their clones. Our patterns have been used as a basis for the design of (i) MIDBOX a platform for supporting mobile collaboration over a private cloud, and (ii) OPTICLOUD a cloud service for scalable real-time editing works.

“…Several authors have highlighted the importance of combining both asynchronous and synchronous communications in mobile environments (AmI systems or mobile collaborative systems, for instance). Rodríguez-Covili et al [ 37 ] propose a reference architecture for mobile shared workspaces in which a “communication component” supporting both interaction modes is introduced. The proposal that we have presented herein can be considered as a technical and as a conceptual complement to the design proposal described in that work.…”

The Request-Response (RR) paradigm is widely used in ubiquitous systems to exchange information in a secure, reliable and timely manner. Nonetheless, there is also an emerging need for adopting the Publish-Subscribe (PubSub) paradigm in this kind of systems, due to the advantages that this paradigm offers in supporting mobility by means of asynchronous, non-blocking and one-to-many message distribution semantics for event notification. This paper analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of both the RR and PubSub paradigms to support communications in ubiquitous systems and proposes an abstract communication model in order to enable their seamless integration. Thus, developers will be focused on communication semantics and the required quality properties, rather than be concerned about specific communication mechanisms. The aim is to provide developers with abstractions intended to decrease the complexity of integrating different communication paradigms commonly needed in ubiquitous systems. The proposal has been applied to implement a middleware and a real home automation system to show its applicability and benefits.

With funding provided by Microsoft Research, the Inter-American Development Bank and selected universities from the region, the LACCIR Federation promotes collaborative research in ICT and computer science within Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The focus is on applications for social and economic needs that are common throughout the LAC region. LACCIR aims to generate leverage between research teams and validate and generalize the research outcomes and their transfer to the society at large. This scientific collaboration allows researchers to address common problems and opportunities for the region. Thus, regional scientific collaboration becomes a possible source of solutions for its own social and economic needs. This paper describes the LACCIR organization, its main activities and some selected ongoing research initiatives. 2. The Critical Mass Effect Although the LAC region has world class universities and top level researchers, its main
