Device miniaturization, wireless computing, and mobile communication are driving ubiquitous, pervasive, and transparent computing. Supporting these rapidly evolving technologies requires middleware solutions that address connectivity-level, location-dependent, and context-dependent issues.The Handbook of Mobile Middleware is an exhaustive overview of recent developments in the various fields related to this infrastructure software. Authored by internationally recognized experts, this advanced reference integrates valuable insight gained from actual system deployments. It begins by presenting mobile middleware requirements and technologies, then offers solutions organized by such challenges as mobility/disconnection handling, location-based support, and context-based support. This volume focuses on the application domains in which mobile middleware has demonstrated its feasibility and effectiveness and details the pros, cons, and trade-offs of each solution.The book also analyzes future directions of mobile applications, including wearable computing, ubiquitous entertainment, and context-dependent distribution.

Grid and Pervasive Computing (GPC) is an annual international conference on the emerging areas of grid computing and pervasive computing, aimed at p- viding an exciting platform and paradigm for all-the-time, everywhere services. GPC 2010 provided a high-pro?le, leading-edgeforum for researchersand dev- opers from industry and academia to present their latest research in the ?eld of grid and pervasive computing. Three workshops were held in conjunction with the GPC 2010 conference: * The First International Workshop on Intelligent Management of Networked Environment (IMNE 2010) * International Workshop on Multimedia Applications for Cloud (MAC 2010) * The 6thInternationalWorkshopon Mobile Commerce andServices (WMCS 2010) The proceedingsof these workshoparealso included in this volume. We received 184 papers originating from 22 countries. The Program Committee ?nally - lected 67 papers for presentation at the conference and inclusion in this LNCS volume.At GPC 2010, we were very pleased to have four distinguished invited speakers, who delivered state-of-the-art information on the conference topics: * A grid based virtual laboratory for HIV drugranking by Peter Sloot (U- versity of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) * Solving the scalability dilemma with clouds, crowds, and algorithms by Michael J. Franklin (University of California, Berkeley, USA) * The trend of cloud computing - from industry's perspective by Enwei Xie (Microsoft Greater China Region, China) * Towards ubiquitous a?ective learning by Bin Hu (The Birmingham City University, UK) Theconferencewouldnothavebeenpossiblewithoutthesupportofmanypeople andorganizationsthathelped invariouswaysto makeita success.
