Amapola: A Simple Infrastructure for Ubiquitous Computing

In this paper we present a simple framework for the management of entities in ubiquitous computing and ad-hoc networks. It provides mechanisms to identify entities, create and manage groups, and a simple management mechanism to allow the coordination of several entities. The framework is called AMAPOLA, and is built on top of a popular multiagent systems (JADE), although, its simplicity makes it suitable for any kind of environment. The framework provides an modular API, which is easy to use for programmers.
