Abstract :
Complex and expensive testing and evaluation can inhibit cost-effective development of ubiquitous computing applications. A new environment for testing and evaluating system- and network-related issues in location-based applications strives to evaluate these applications prior to deployment. We discuss a health-monitoring application and its simulation environment.
