Émigré: An Architecture-Based Framework for Migratory Applications

Student: Maulik Oza

Advisor: André van der Hoek

Abstract: Conventional approaches to ubiquitous mobile computing have been focused on "eliminating boundaries" by delivering access to information "anytime, anywhere" but ignoring the boundaries between technical and social aspects. Aspects such as variations in processor power, display capabilities, environmental settings etc. cannot be ignored as they play an important role during the process of providing information.

Migratory work differs from mobile work in trying to "accommodate" these boundaries by adapting application architectures based on their surroundings, which not only include technical aspects like processor speeds and display sizes but also aspects like organizational and social settings. This work focuses on developing a framework, Émigré, that would facilitate the rapid development of migratory applications.

Bio: Maulik Oza is a second year PhD student in the area of software engineering at UC Irvine. His research interests lie in the field of software architectures and ubiquitous computing. He is currently doing research under the supervision of Prof. André van der Hoek and Prof. Paul Dourish in applying techniques from software architectures to context-aware applications.
