Modern communication environments tend to be complex, dynamic and highly distributed. For the provision of messaging in such environments multiple entities, providing different functionalities and located remotely from each other, must cooperate in order to perform different tasks and provide different kind of information for the completion of the service provision lifecycle. Within this paper we present an implementation analysis of the communication mechanism which was employed in a distributed brokerage framework for the provision of context aware personalized services. The paper focuses on the inter-broker communication mechanism which enables the transparent interaction between components located in different brokers. The mechanism was designed and implemented having in mind relevant requirements such as transparency, modularity and high availability. The design and implementation was based on web service practices and the SOAP protocol.

The paper is concerned with the obstacles faced by Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) environments with respect to their deployment in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). These obstacles are directly connected to the special characteristics of SMEs (such as small size and limited human / financial resources) and can seriously impede the successful introduction of CSCW as well as related teleworking technologies. Based on an overview of related literature, the paper proposes the adoption of Web technologies, both conventional client-based as well as Web Services related ones, for the development of CSCW environments that can be easily deployed in a wide variety of SMEs and related organizations.

In this paper, we investigate the allocation of frequency channels to DVB-T allotments for frequency Bands IV/V (UHF). The problem is modeled with a constraint graph represented by an interference matrix. The aim is to optimize the spectrum usage, so that the maximum number of possible channels is assigned to each allotment area. The problem is a variation of the

The paper presents the specification, development and initial per- formance evaluation of the Simplicity Device (SD), which is one of the key components of the SIMPLICITY Architecture. The SD is both a portable per- sonalization device and a hardware Single-Sign-On (SSO) token. It accommo- dates the Simplicity User Profile (SUP), which contains user context related in- formation and has been
