Managing ubiquitous networks — how do they do it?

At last year´s ICUFN we presented an architecture for managing ubiquitous computing networks and applications [1]. This year we want to show how we can implement this architecture to realise and deploy a small yet powerful management system. The use case for demonstrating our implementation is one of the most commonly used ubiquitous service - instant messaging. The described management system is currently deployed in a distributed testbed between several Irish universities and Cisco.
