 I am currently looking into programming abstractions that allow to specify which events to capture by distributed application components in a mobile ad hoc network. Furthermore, I am trying to come up with mechanisms that allow reacting to these events without relying on event handlers or other callback mechanisms. Finally, low level events should be processed (e.g. by combining them) such that they are on the semantic level of the application. I am currently looking into programming abstractions that allow to specify which events to capture by distributed application components in a mobile ad hoc network.

 +Our everyday environment will soon be pervaded with RFID tags, tiny chips that can be integrated into any physical object. The tags can store and distribute information about the object or its environment. RFID technology is a key technology in developing pervasive context-aware applications.
 +
 +I am investigating new programming abstractions to develop //mobile RFID-enabled applications//. These are applications running on mobile devices such as smartphones or PDAs that spontaneously interact with the [objects in the] user's environment using by communicating with tagged objects. Mobile RFID-enabled applications both disperse application-specific data to and process contextual data from tagged physical objects. The programmer must dispose of adequate tools to deal with RFID hardware characteristics.
 +
 +Currently programming such applications is problematic. Communicating with RFID tags is prone to many failures as the connections with tags are extremely volatile and RFID tags have a small range of operation. State-of-the-art RFID applications heavily rely on infrastructure and merely employ RFID tags as digital barcodes, not exploiting the writable memory on the tags. As a consequence mobile RFID-enabled applications have to be developed in an ad hoc way, building upon low-level hardware abstractions leaving the developer to deal with RFID hardware characteristics manually.
