Abstract :
An experiment relative to the use of the Bluetooth wireless technology to provide network support for context-aware applications is presented. We describe an approach to provide network interconnection using a combination of wireless and wired network technologies. We also describe the steps taken to create a Bluetooth based context-aware application. We finally evaluate using a small test-bed and simulation the overall performance of this technology when adopted in this specific area.
