Abstract(s)

With the incorporation of wireless modules into mobile equipment, new opportunities for sensing people and offer them innovative services arise. In this thesis we present a prototype system that uses Bluetooth to perform proximity sensing and context-aware content dissemination. After analysing the sensed data, our system disseminates content by means of a Service Specification Language (SSL) which can describe a set of rich context-aware services. Our results show the usefulness of our system, as we demonstrate that it is a low-cost and flexible alternative to more expensive methods of proximity sensing and content dissemination.
