Context-awareness is one of the drivers of the ubiquitous computing paradigm. Well-designed context modeling and context retrieval approaches are key p- requisites in any context-aware system. Location is one of the primary aspects of all major context models — together with time, identity and activity. From the technical side, sensing, fusing and distributing location and other context information is as important as providing context-awareness to applications and services in pervasive systems. Thematerialsummarizedinthisvolumewasselectedforthe1stInternational Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness (LoCA 2005) held in coope- tion with the 3rd International Conference on Pervasive Computing 2005. The workshop was organized by the Institute of Communications and Navigation of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfa?enhofen, and the Mobile and Distributed Systems Group of the University of Munich. During the workshop, novel positioning algorithms and location sensing te- niques were discussed, comprising not only enhancements of singular systems, like positioning in GSM or WLAN, but also hybrid technologies, such as the integration of global satellite systems with inertial positioning. Furthermore, - provements in sensor technology, as well as the integration and fusion of sensors, were addressed both on a theoretical and on an implementation level. Personal and con?dential data, such as location data of users, have p- found implications for personal information privacy. Thus privacy protection, privacy-oriented location-aware systems, and how privacy a?ects the feasibility and usefulness of systems were also addressed in the workshop.

USM 2000 is the third event in a series of international IFIP/GI conferences on Trends in Distributed Systems. Following the venues in Aachen, Germany (1996) and Hamburg, Germany (1998), this event in Munich considers the trend towards a Universal Service Market – USM 2000. The trend towards a universal service market has many origins, e.g., the integration of telecom and data communications, the deregulation e?orts with respect to telco markets, the globalization of information, the virtualization of companies, the requirement of a short time-to-market, the advances in network technologies, the increasing acceptance of e-commerce, and the increase in - bility. This leads to new business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) environments that o?er both challenges and opportunities to enterprises and end-users. There is the need for ubiquitous services, trading, brokering and information management, for service market and business models, and for ?e- ble infrastructures for dynamic collaboration. Researchers, service vendors, and users must cooperate to set up the app- priate requirements for a universal service market and to ?nd solutions with respect to supporting platforms, middleware, distributed applications, and m- agement. The basis for these solution is a common understanding of means for de?ning, creating, implementing, and deploying the service market. Then, s- vice market makers, service aggregators, service auctioneers, ISP, ASP, BPO, and customers can freely interact in a dynamic, open, and universal market place.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Trends in Distributed Systems, TreDS '96, held in Aachen, Germany, in October 1996.The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 51 submissions; also included is an invited paper by Sape Mullender and Paul Sijben on quality of service in distributed multimedia systems. Beyond the topic of the CORBA architecture and implementations, the book addresses interoperability issues, formal methods, multimedia communication services, distributed object systems, coordination protocols, reuse, workflow management, etc.

Mobile Apps - Programme, die auf Smartphones ausgeführt werden - sind derzeit fast nur bei Konsumenten erfolgreich, während ein echtes App-Konzept im Business-Markt noch fehlt. Das Thema "Smart Mobile Apps" nimmt dieses Potenzial in Angriff: Intelligente Business-Apps werden Geschäftsprozesse im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes mobilisieren. Es entsteht ein mobiles Internet, das Geschäftsprozesse in allen Branchen befördern kann. Chancen dafür gibt es viele: Smartphones, Pads und Co. müssen sich nur in unser Denken integrieren. Durch sie kann Situationen intuitiv begegnet werden – am Flughafen nach dem Check-in, wenn noch eine Auslandsversicherung benötigt wird, oder direkt an einem Unfallort der Schaden aufgenommen werden soll. Informationen können den Kunden zeitnah und individualisiert zur Verfügung gestellt werden: so entstehen neue Märkte und Umsatzchancen.

DCOM, Java-RMI und CORBA sind aktuelle Entwicklungen zur Realisierung rechnerübergreifender verteilter Systeme. Das vorliegende Buch behandelt grundlegende Architekturen und Dienste sowie allgemeine Probleme, die beim Einsatz solcher Verteilungsplattformen entstehen. Am Beispiel von CORBA werden Möglichkeiten der Datenübertragung und des Managements untersucht. Verschiedene Ansätze zur Objektreplikation und dem zugehörigen Load Balancing werden vorgestellt, und es wird auf eine Möglichkeit der Objektmigration eingegangen. Das Verhalten zahlreicher untersuchter Szenarien ist graphisch dargestellt. Verfahren zur Systemanalyse runden das Werk ab.

Alle Branchen befinden sich derzeit in derselben Situation: Unternehmen bedienen ihre Kunden oft noch über konventionelle Kanäle, obwohl viel mehr Kenntnis und Erreichbarkeit vorhanden ist. Technisch ist es möglich, den Ort des Kunden zu bestimmen, die Situation, in der er sich befindet. Mit diesem Wissen kann man reagieren: personalisiert können Leistungen des Unternehmens angeboten werden, die zu den Bedürfnissen des Kunden passen. Wenn das Unternehmen dies nicht tut, wird das Geschäft von anderen Playern im Markt abgegraben. Vertriebskanäle werden zunehmend bei Partnern etabliert, auch um gebündelte Produkte anzubieten. Es entstehen Orchestrierung und Kollaboration, und das Social Business reagiert viel stärker auf die Meinung der Kunden zum Produkt.

This collection of different views on how digitalization is influencing various industrial sectors addresses essential topics like big data and analytics, fintech and insuretech, cloud and mobility technologies, disruption and entrepreneurship.  The technological advances of the 21st century have been massively impacted by the digital upheaval: there is no future without digitalization. The sale of products and services has left the classical point of sale and now takes place on a variety of channels. Whether in the automotive industry, travel and traffic, in cities, or the financial industry – newly designed ecosystems are being created everywhere; data is being generated and analyzed in real time; and companies are competing for mobile access channels to customers in order to gain knowledge about their individual contexts and preferences. In turn, customers can now publicly share their opinions, experiences and knowledge as User Generated Content, allowing them to impact the market and empowering them to build or destroy trust.
