Resource Discovery for Supporting Ubiquitous Collaborative Work
Abstract
The majority of the solutions proposed in the domain of service discovery protocols mainly focus on developing single-user applications. Consequently, these applications are unaware of third-party interventions supposing that nobody interferes nor observes. This paper describes a system for discovering sharable resources in ubiquitous collaborative environments. The proposed system is based on the publish/subscribe model, which makes possible for collaborators to: 1) publish resources to share them with their colleagues and 2) subscribe themselves to get information about resources they are interested in. Dynamic information is gathered from different sources, such as user’s applications, a resource locator and a human face recognizer in order to find out the best available resource for a specific request. Resource availability is determined according to several parameters: technical characteristics, roles, usage restrictions and dependencies with other resources in terms of ownership, presence, location and even availability.
