Multishelf
An experiment in peer-to-peer infomediation
We describe the architecture and the implementation of Multishelf-a decentralized peer-to-peer infomediator. Multishelf was designed and built during a ten-week senior software methodology course using the Proem peer-to-peer platform. We discuss the infomediation problem, present

When peer-to-peer comes face-to-face
Collaborative peer-to-peer computing in mobile ad-hoc networks
This paper motivates and describes the notion of mobile ad-hoc information systems. Such a system consists of a decentralized and self-organizing network of autonomous, mobile devices that interact as peers. Connectivity is determined by distance between devices; as hosts change

Supporting mobile collaboration through interchange of user profiles
This paper introduces the notion of profile-based cooperation as a way to support awareness and informal communication between mobile users during chance encounters. We describe the design of Proem, a wearable system for profile-based cooperation that enables users to publish and

Building communities of cooperating wearable agents
This paper introduces the notion of a Wearable Community as a group of wearable users who cooperate for their mutual benefit. In such a community, wearable computers act as personal agents on behalf of and in the interest of their 'owners'. These agents are goal-directed and will

Wearable communities
Augmenting social networks with wearable computers
The significant aspects of WearCom design methodology that permits rapid prototyping of wearable communites to facilitate community building are discussed. Wearable communities enhance personal computing with continuously worn, intelligent assistants that augment memory, intellec

This paper describes a framework for managing and distributing trust information in a community of mobile and wearable computer users. Trust information in the form of reputations are used to aid users during their social interactions with the rest of the community.@en
This paper reports on an empirical study aimed at evaluating the utility of a reality-augmenting telepointer in a wearable videoconference system. Results show that using this telepointer a remote expert can effectively guide and direct a field worker's manual activities. By anal
