A new framework for ubiquitous context-aware healthcare applications

Nowadays, there is a significant lack of generic application frameworks providing third party developers with the appropriate mechanisms for building ubiquitous context-aware healthcare applications over medical heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a new framework integrating context-aware and security mechanisms with mechanisms that allow the ease exploitation of the core networks´ functionality to enable third party developers to build reliable and secure ubiquitous context-aware healthcare applications over medical heterogeneous networks.
