  • Networked Surfaces: a Novel LAN Technology
    Networked Surfaces: A Novel LAN Technology James William Scott Churchill College, University of Cambridge September 25, 2002 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Abstract Networked Surfaces: A Novel LAN Technology James William Scott Networked Surfaces are a novel technology, which allows physical surfaces such as desks to be augmented in order to provide networking and other services to devices placed on top of them. The devices, which are required to be augmented with special hardware, may include notebook PCs, PDAs, peripherals, and other types of device habitually placed on surfaces. When such a device is placed on a Networked Surface, a handshaking protocol is used to establish a connection between it and the appropriate services. These services may in- clude low-speed and high-speed networking, the provision of power, and also the accurate estimation of the location of the device. The concept of Networked Surfaces raises many issues in networking, which are explored in this thesis in the context of the OSI networking model. At the physical layer, the hardware required to provide connectivity to services is complex, involving a distributed architecture and use of particular conductive pad layouts on the surface and object. The implementation of a fully functional prototype is described. At the link layer, methods for connection and disconnection detection are presented and evaluated. The high speed network used in the prototype is discussed, and includes a novel bus arbitration scheme appropriate to the Networked Surfaces environment. The characteristics of the high speed Networked Surfaces network interface include the possibility of frequent connection and disconnection.

  • Realvnc Is a Spin out Company Launched by the University of Cambridge Researchers Who Developed Virtual Network Computing (VNC) Remote Access Technology
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Cambridge Unit of Assessment: UoA11 Title of case study: Real VNC 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) RealVNC is a spin out company launched by the University of Cambridge researchers who developed Virtual Network Computing (VNC) remote access technology. VNC allows connection and control of devices from anywhere in the world, irrespective of operating system. VNC is now the default mechanism for remote sharing of graphical desktops across the internet. RealVNC has sold over 300 million licences across 175 countries. The company has won three Queen’s Awards for Enterprise and the Royal Academy of Engineering’s MacRobert Award, the UK's premier engineering prize. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) The research was undertaken by Professor Andy Hopper [1–6], who joined the University of Cambridge in 1977, became Reader in 1992 and Professor in 1997 (see note below). He was appointed Head of the Computer Laboratory and Professor of Computer Technology in 2004. The research was undertaken collaboratively with Olivetti Research Labs in Cambridge (which became Oracle Research in 1987 and then AT&T Research from 1999). Professor Hopper led the research project throughout. Other key members of Hopper’s University research groups were Quentin Stafford-Fraser [1,5], Research Assistant at the Computer Laboratory,1991–1992, who joined Olivetti some years later; Mark Spiteri [6], Research Associate in Hopper’s Laboratory for Communications Engineering 1999-2001; John Bates [6], Lecturer in Hopper’s Laboratory for Communications Engineering 1998-2000; and Glenford Mapp [2], who was a Visiting Fellow in the Computer Laboratory.

Technical reports published by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory are freely available via the Internet: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/ ISSN 1476-2986 Summary Context aware applications respond and adapt to changes in the computing environment. For example, they may react when the location of the user or the capabilities of the device used change. Despite the increasing importance and popularity of such applications, advances in application models to support their development have not kept up. Legacy application design models, which embed contextual dependencies in the form of if-then rules specifying how applications should react to context changes, are still widely used. Such models are impractical to accommodate the large variety of possibly even unanticipated context types and their values. This dissertation proposes a new application model for building context aware applications, considering them as dynamically composed sequences of calls to services, software components that perform well-defined computational opera- tions and export open interfaces through which they can be invoked. This work employs goal-oriented inferencing from planning technologies for selecting the services and assembling the sequence of their execution, allowing different com- positions to result from different context parameters such as resources available, time constraints, and user location.
