• Nexus - An Open Global Infrastructure for Spatial-Aware Applications. The goal of this research group is the examination of concepts and methods for the support of location-aware application with mobile users. It will lead to the development of a global platform for spatial-aware applications, whose main purpose is to maintain a distributed, dynamic model of the real world augmented by virtual objects. Virtual objects are associated with a geographical position or a certain real world object in this model and contain links to existing information spaces like the WWW. http://www.nexus.uni-stuttgart.de/
• Ninja - Enabling Internet-scale Services from Arbitrarily Small Devices. Some of the projects: NBIO- Nonblocking I/O for Java, vSpace - a new, event-driven cluster programming platform for Internet services, Distributed hash table code, NinjaRMI - a free ground-up reimplementation of Sun's Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). http://ninja.cs.berkeley.edu/
• Future Computing Environments (FCE) Group - a collection of students and researchers across various units of Georgia Tech who are interested in developing a culture and infrastructure on campus for the investigation, prototyping, and construction of computing environments now that will be commonplace in 10-15 years. Some of the projects: The Aware Home Research Initiative - building a house to serve as a living laboratory for ubiquitous and everyday computing in the home, eClass - increase professor and student productivity in the classroom by replacing existing media such as chalkboards and paper with electronic media, The Context Toolkit - aims at facilitating the development and deployment of context-enabled applications. http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fce/
