However, context information is inherently associated with un- certainties, which need to be taken into account when processing such information. This Quality of Context Information (QoC) comprises nu- merous aspects, such as the uncertainty of sensed data, transmission and update protocols, consistency between data from several providers, or the trust placed into the information from individual providers. Because of the technical and economical challenges, it is our vision that a federation integrates many context models from different providers into a global context model. This model is then shared by a number of applications. Such a federated context management poses additional challenges with regard to QoC.

  • Todo Lo Que Necesitas Saber Sobre Chromecast, El Nuevo Dispositivo De Google
    Todo lo que necesitas saber sobre Chromecast, el nuevo dispositivo de Google Llegó el día y, descartada la presentación del smartphone Moto X, se han cumplido el resto de expectativas sobre el desayuno con Sundar Pichai, vicepresidente sénior de Google para Android, Chrome y Aplicaciones El gigante de Mountain View ha presentado una nueva versión de Nexus 7, su propio tablet PC construido en colaboración con Asus que presenta mejoras de pantalla respecto a la generación anterior. Y no porque haya cambiado de tamaño, que siguen siendo 7 pulgadas tal y como indica su nombre, sino porque empaqueta un total de 323 píxeles por cada pulgada. Además, estrena el sistema operativo Android 4.3 “Jelly Bean”, que añade funcionalidades como los perfiles restringidos para reforzar el control parental o mostrar únicamente cierto tipo de contenidos adaptados a circunstancias concretas. Esta actualización soporta Bluetooth Smart, mientras que la nueva Nexus 7 promete hasta nueve horas de reproducción de vídeo de alta definición y 10 horas de navegación web o lectura. También añade altavoces estéreo y sonido envolvente virtual de Fraunhofer, entre otras características que elevan su precio hasta los 229 dólares. Eso sí, de momento la tableta sólo estará disponible en los Estados Unidos y habrá que esperar a que Google decida ampliar su presencia a otros países, algo que ya ha dejado caer que hará en breve. Chromecast, ¿un Apple TV-killer? Pero, más allá de Nexus 7 y Android 4.3, Google guardaba en la recámara la presentación de un dispositivo que perfecciona las intenciones de su Google TV o del malogrado Nexus Q y que podría ponérselo difícil a la propia Apple TV y el concepto de smart TV si llega a calar entre los usuarios: Chromecast.

  • Nexus 7, La Tablet De Google, a Partir De Juliol Fabricada Entre Google I Asus, Durà El Nou Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) Com a Sistema Operatiu
    Internet | Redacció | Actualitzat el 28/06/2012 a les 07:28 Nexus 7, la tablet de Google, a partir de juliol Fabricada entre Google i Asus, durà el nou Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) com a sistema operatiu Google va aprofitar el Google I/O 2012 per fer anuncis importants. I un dels més esperats, era, precisament, el de la seva tablet, sumant-la així als mòbils Nexus que ja ha anat comercialitzant. Google Nexus 7 serà una tablet de 7 polzades, fabricada amb Asus, i que incorporarà la versió 4.1, també presentada ahir d'Android, amb el nom de "Jelly Bean". Amb un processador Nvidia Tegra 3 de quatre nuclis a 1.3Ghz, resolució de 1280x800, càmera frontal d'1,3 MP, i connectivitat Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC i GPS, tindrà un preu de 199 dòlars en la versió de 8Gb d'emmagatzematge i de 249 per la de 16Gb que la durà a competir directament amb el Kindle Fire d'Amazon. Android 4.1, "Jelly Bean" La Nexus 7 durà la nova versió del sistema operatiu Android, també presentada ahir, quan molts dels dispositius mòbils encara no han arribat ni a actualitzar-se a la versió anterior, la 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Aquesta versió aporta moltes novetats. La primera a destacar seria l'anomenat "Project Butter" que es centra en millorar l'experiència d'usuari, fent més ràpid el sistema operatiu i la seva resposta en pantalles tàctils. També incorpora un nou sistema de predicció d'escriptura, 18 nous idiomes, millores en la visualització de fotografies, "widgets" que es poden canviar de mida, notificacions millorades, fotografies de contactes en alta resolució, o l'evident cerca per veu que voldria assemblar-se -sense arribar a anomenar-lo- a Siri.

  • Upgrading Your Android, Elevating My Malware: Privilege Escalation Through Mobile OS Updating
    2014 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy Upgrading Your Android, Elevating My Malware: Privilege Escalation Through Mobile OS Updating Luyi Xing∗, Xiaorui Pan∗, Rui Wang†, Kan Yuan∗ and XiaoFeng Wang∗ ∗Indiana University Bloomington Email: {luyixing, xiaopan, kanyuan, xw7}@indiana.edu †Microsoft Research Email: [email protected] Abstract—Android is a fast evolving system, with new updates arise about their security implications, which have never been coming out one after another. These updates often completely studied before. overhaul a running system, replacing and adding tens of thou- sands of files across Android’s complex architecture, in the New challenges in mobile updating. Security hazards that presence of critical user data and applications (apps for short). come with software updates have been investigated on desktop To avoid accidental damages to such data and existing apps, OSes [45], [37]. Prior research focuses on either compromises the upgrade process involves complicated program logic, whose of patches before they are installed on a target system [26] security implications, however, are less known. In this paper, or reverse-engineering of their code to identify vulnerabilities we report the first systematic study on the Android updating mechanism, focusing on its Package Management Service (PMS). for attacking unpatched systems [40]. The reliability of patch Our research brought to light a new type of security-critical installation process has never been called into question. For a vulnerabilities, called Pileup flaws, through which a malicious mobile system, this update process tends to be more complex, app can strategically declare a set of privileges and attributes on due to its unique security model that confines individual apps a low-version operating system (OS) and wait until it is upgraded within their sandboxes and the presence of a large amount to escalate its privileges on the new system.
