Abstract

One important aspect of ubiquitous environments is to provide users with the possibility to freely move about and continue the interaction with the available applications through a variety of interactive devices (including cell phones, PDAs, desktop computers, digital television sets, and intelligent watches). Indeed, in such environments one big potential source of frustration is that people have to start their session over again from the beginning at each interaction device change. Migratory interactive services can overcome this limitation and support continuous task performances.
