The talk will therefore also look at a new breed of company, the convergent reseller, and what it takes to create one. This talk will describe the range of service discovery and interaction technologies currently available, and assess their suitability for supporting future pervasive computing environments. Particular emphasis will be placed on home network applications. A number of case studies will be presented based on work carried out at Lancaster University, Microsoft Research and Sony US Research Labs. Registration on the day is possible, but is strongly encouraged before 20th November so as to finalise catering.
Payment is possible by cheque, credit card or debit card.
Receipts will be issued at the colloquium. No refunds can be made, but registered delegates may be replaced by other individuals. These free places will be allocated in order of application up to 20th November, beyond which the standard fee will apply.
