Context-aware collaboration, computation and communications in emerging wireless networks

Future wireless systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are networked, organized, configured, optimized, and recovered automatically based on their operating situations. Wireless users will have opportunities to automatically configure devices and their parameters, systems, and services based on the users´ contexts. Furthermore, for cyber-physical systems, physical objects will be seamlessly integrated into an Internet-like system to complete mission-critical assignments where context-aware collaboration, computations and communications will be most essential steps. Thus, these topics have already attracted great attentions from both academic research and industrial development. In this paper, we present some recent results, status and advantages of collaboration, computation and communications in emerging wireless networks.
