Ubiquitous computing applications collect information
from a variety of sources so as to provide behavior that is
tailored to the user’s context. Typically, client devices
connect through appropriate middleware and wireless
infrastructure to a variety of services and data sources
and, increasingly, local sensor data. In this paper, we
present a different approach to constructing ubiquitous
computing applications that relies on wireless
broadcasting of information by the infrastructure. Clients
silently listen to these broadcasts and harvest the data
they need. We believe this complementary approach
exhibits promising properties for scalability and privacy.
All clients receive the same data and use what they need
solely by listening and without compromising their
presence. We have constructed a broadcast
infrastructure in our office building and, together with
colleagues, have developed three applications that
demonstrate the promise of the approach.
