TL;DR: The current research in each of these areas of middleware, world modelling, perception, and service description is described, highlighting some common requirements for any intelligent environment.
Abstract: The EasyLiving project is concerned with development of an architecture and technologies for intelligent environments which allow the dynamic aggregation of diverse I/O devices into a single coherent user experience. Components of such a system include middleware (to facilitate distributed computing), world modelling (to provide location-based context), perception (to collect information about world state), and service description (to support decomposition of device control, internal logic, and user interface). This paper describes the current research in each of these areas, highlighting some common requirements for any intelligent environment.

TL;DR: This paper considers the support of real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network (ISPN), and proposes an ISPN architecture that supports two distinct kinds of real time service: guaranteed service, which involves pre-computed worst-case delay bounds, and predicted service which uses the measure performance of the network in computing delay bounds.
Abstract: This paper considers the support of real-time applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network (ISPN). We first review the characteristics of real-time applications. We observe that, contrary to the popular view that real-time applications necessarily require a fixed delay bound, some real-time applications are more flexible and can adapt to current network conditions. We then propose an ISPN architecture that supports two distinct kinds of real-time service: guaranteed service, which is the traditional form of real-time service discussed in most of the literature and involves pre-computed worst-case delay bounds, and predicted service which uses the measure performance of the network in computing delay bounds. We then propose a packet scheduling mechanism that can support both of these real-time services as well as accommodate datagram traffic. We also discuss two other aspects of an overall ISPN architecture: the service interface and the admission control criteria.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for integrating an on-line service community with a foreign service such as the Internet World Wide Web is presented, which is manifested as a toolbar comprised of control buttons and a viewer on a computer user's screen.
Abstract: A system and method for integrating an on-line service community with a foreign service (24) such as the Internet World Wide Web. An extension to a user's preferred Web browser (190) is manifested as a toolbar (196) comprised of control buttons and a viewer on a computer user's screen. By interacting with the control buttons of the toolbar (196) and the menus of the viewer, on-line service content (198) is delivered to the user in response to the URLs (22) specified by the user as he or she browses the Web. In addition, control buttons on the toolbar (196) present opportunities for interacting with other community members. Although the user may change URLs (22) and Web sites frequently, the present invention maintains a context for the user's interactions so that on-line service content (198) may be presented and interactions with other community members facilitated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a solution to the needs described above through a system and method for managing data exchange among systems in a network, which translates data from a system specific local format to a generic interchange format object, and vice versa, with predefined stylesheets using generic components and a system-specific service components which utilize a native application programming interface of the specific local system.
