A DLNA-Based Efficient Mechanism for Interconnecting Mobile Devices in Ubiquitous Environments

Mobile devices are increasingly assuming an important role in ubiquitous environments. This paper proposes a DLNA-based efficient mechanism which aims to hide the heterogeneity of hardware, software, data formats and communication protocols. The proposed our architecture enables user applications to interact with data from a wide range of networked services/devices using a high-level, abstract interface that features Web Services standards.
