Smart Instant
Messenger @ HKU
This project is to
implement a smart instant messenger (SIM) that can help mobile users to
perform context-aware person-to-person interactions and enable mobile users
to instantaneously make use of devices present in a working space. Context
information, such as room location, person identity, computing resources,
personal profiles, schedule, etc., will be retrieved and inferred by a
reasoning engine to provide correct decisions (smartness). A special feature
of SIM is the support of application mobility, where an executing
application, such as a music player, can be moved across nearby devices, but
continue its execution (playing the same music). The implementation involves
Java programming on PDA (or mobile phone with J2ME), client-server network
programming on wireless LAN (802.11b, BlueTooth, or IrDA, etc.). (More...)

: In the PDA scenario a notepad application is changed to adapt to
the font size to the users activity (a large font when the user is
walking, small font when stationary) as well as to environmental

chooses to ring, vibrate, adjust the ring volume, or keep silent,
depending on whether the phone is in hand, on a table, in a
suitcase, or outside.
