Abstract

Ubiquitous Computing is a trending innovation that allows a user to have access to many computers in a transparent manner anytime anywhere thereby enhancing computing confidence. However, the full potential of ubiquitous computing is not yet realised due to challenges including changing location of mobile users, poor network infrastructure, limited system resources, and poor transaction processing model. This work is concerned with the development of a proactive support for active transaction coordination in ubiquitous computing environment. The specific objectives are to identify relevant values of predefined key features of processing units that greatly impact on ubiquitous computing and to predict the processing capability of processing units using relevant values of the predefined features. An object-oriented analysis and system design methodology is employed and the proposed processing unit eligibility identification mechanism and neural network-based classifier is shown to effectively support ubiquitous computing.
