abstract = {In healthcare facilities most of the daily activities require strict coordination between clinicians, who often operate under heavy workloads and minimal workforce conditions in environments filled with increasingly complex technology. Ubiquitous Computing applications constitute a suitable solution for both reducing medical costs and improving patient safety by better supporting clinical processes. In this study we introduce an intelligent infrastructure for smart hospitals which implements basic services to optimize medical staff/patient interactions and grants ubiquitous and transparent access to clinical data stored in standard clinical databases. This infrastructure relies on the integration of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) and photosensor technologies to identify, locate and track clinicians and patients equipped with mobile devices and wearable RFID tags.},

abstract = {Ubiquitous computing technologies are being applied in many fields of business and institutions, varying from small intelligent spaces to large virtual enterprises. In particular, such technologies can be successfully used in health care facilities in order to reduce medical costs and improve quality of service. This paper presents an infrastructure for pervasively accessing Electronic Health Records (EHR) in a hospital. It relies on services which integrate Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) and photosensor technologies for identifying, locating and tracking doctors and patients equipped with mobile devices and RFID tags, with the final aim of granting ubiquitous and transparent access to medical data stored into standard EHRs.},

abstract = {Pervasive healthcare is the field of application emerging from the combination of healthcare with pervasive computing, which is the computing paradigm that aims to provide users with access to services in a transparent way, wherever they are and whichever their interacting device is. In this paper, a software infrastructure for pervasive healthcare is presented. Such an infrastructure aims at supporting medical practitioners with advanced pervasive access to medical data, which is also context-aware in the sense that the modality to fruit data depends on the device used by the operator and on his physical position within the environment. The paper also describes a service for high quality 3D rendering of medical volume data, which takes advantage of the software infrastructure to distribute the computational load upon the devices available in the environment in a completely transparent way to users.},

abstract = {This paper focuses on automatic mechanisms for task distribution and execution in virtual and mobile environments. In particular, the goal is the implementation of Utility Computing services that enable users to submit their source code and to have their applications executed without concerning about resource allocation, task distribution, and load-balancing. The proposed solution consists in a distributed agent-based software infrastructure that grants a high level of transparency from the user point of view. As a matter of fact, accordingly with the Utility Computing model, the user has just to submit its tasks and their input parameters; after that, the software infrastructure takes care of (1) encapsulating tasks in mobile agents; (2) distributing them in the virtual environment; (3) launching and controlling execution; (4) picking up results; and (5) handling computing stations. Finally, it is important to note that the infrastructure is able to integrate both fixed and mobile hardware resources to build a community of computing stations for task executions. As a consequence, such an infrastructure can get useful computing power even from stations (mobile devices) that have always been neglected by classic task execution platforms.},

abstract = {Grid computing and pervasive computing have rapidly emerged and affirmed respectively as the paradigm for high performance computing and the paradigm for user-friendly computing. The conjunction of such paradigms are now generating a new one, the Pervasive Grid Computing, which aims at extending classic grids with characteristics of pervasive computing like spontaneous and transparent integration of mobile devices, context-awareness, proactivity, and so on. In this paper, we present mechanisms and a software infrastructure for executing tasks in a pervasive grid. In particular, the proposed solution, which provides an implementation of the Utility Computing model, enables users to submit tasks and to pick up results without concerning on requiring and handling hardware resources.},
