Abstract:
Ubiquitous computing is a novel computational paradigm in which the users’ mobility, the devices’ heterogeneity and the service omnipresence need is intrinsic and intense. In this context, the ubiquitous software development poses some particular challenges that are not yet dealt with by the traditional approaches found in the Software Engineering community. In order to improve the ubiquitous software development, this paper describes a detailed technological set based on multi-agent systems (MAS), goal-orientation, the BDI (Belief Desire Intention) model and various frameworks and conceptual models.
