    The document discusses key concepts in networking including the core, edge, and access networks and their functions. It also describes the three tiers in a three-tier architecture - presentation, application, and data tiers - and their roles. Middleware is explained as software between the operating system and user software that can include message oriented, transaction processing, communication, and other types of middleware like PHP and Java. The importance of context in applications and necessary context for navigation systems is covered. Content adaptation and its classifications are defined to make content suitable for different device classes. Seamless communication and its benefits for emergency services are outlined. Finally, a content aware system is described as sensing the environment and adapting accordingly, with types of context information

    Tutorial Week 3

    1. Describe the significance of core, edge, and access network. Explain their
    functions as well.

    Core – backbone of network and looks at the traffic from the stream of bits
    point of view. (The architecture of network.)

    Edge – responsible for the distribution of traffic and looks at the traffic from
    the service point of view. (Transfer)

    Access – deals with last mile of transmission. (Use)

    2. What are the different tiers in three-tier architecture? Describe the


    functions of these tiers?

    • Presentation tier- Responsible for presenting the information to the end


    user. Runs on the client devices. (3)

    • Application tier- Does the transcoding(converting) of data for appropriate


    rendering in the presentation layer. Handles function related to
    middleware. (2)

    • Data tier- Used to store data needed by the application and acts as a
    repository (repository-another name for database) for both temporary and
    permanent data. (1)

    3. What is middleware? Describe its significance in handling the context of


    any application.

    Middleware – layer of software sitting between the operating system and user
    facing software.

    Many types of middleware – Message Oriented Middleware, Transaction


    Processing Middleware, Communication Middleware, Distributed Objects and
    Components, Transcoding Middleware, Web Services, etc.

    Php, Java
    4. What do you understand by context?

    is the use of software and hardware to automatically collect and analyze


    data about a device's surroundings in order to present relevant, actionable
    information to the end user.

    Why is context important?

    the context describes the actual conditions under which the software


    system is used. ... In context-aware software systems, determining
    the context of use can allow the application to modify its current behavior
    to better interact with the user.

    It is important because attributes associated with devices and users will


    change constantly, therefore content and behavior of applications should
    be adopted to suit the current

    To develop a navigational system for a car, what types of context


    information will be necessary?

    Location (current position) and position

    5. What is content adaptation?

    is the action of transforming content to adapt to device


    capabilities. Content adaptation is usually related to mobile devices, which
    require special handling because of their limited computational power,
    small screen size, and constrained keyboard functionality.

    What are the various classifications of transcoding?

    • Spatial transcoding
    • Temporal transcoding
    • Colour transcoding
    • Code transcoding
    • Object or semantic transcoding
    How can the two be useful for various device classes?

    6. What is seamless communication?

    A ubiquitous system involves availability and accessibility from anywhere,


    anytime and through any network or device.

    And how can it help in an emergency service rescue operation?

    provide urgent communication facilities to rescue teams and victim. ...


    Establishing emergency communication is an urgent task in disaster
    relief operations. ... The proposed system can help to reduce the handoff
    time, helps to save battery life, support more terminal types, and
    provide emergency management services.

    7. What is a content aware system?

    refers to a general class of mobile systems that can sense their physical


    environment, and adapt their behavior accordingly.

    What all can be the types of information needed for developing a fully
    context aware system?

    Context-aware systems rely on the acquisition of data/context about the


    actual ... range of different sensors is available today to capture all
    information required to ... Information can also be extracted from the
    video image, e.g., by pattern ... has been recognized as one of the
    main building blocks of context aware systems ...
