The CS-lunch is for PhD students, and it is established for the presentations of accepted conference and journal papers to the other PhD students and the staff at the department. Usually such a presentation will be done before the actual conference presentation. This will give the presenter valuable feedback.

The following paper will be presented by Arne Munch-Ellingsen Wednesssday 31st of October at 12:00 in Møterom 1, MNF.

Abstract:
Argos is a microkernel based, small-scale or personal middleware container that is extendible through deployment of system services. System services to support development of end user applications in sensor network, pervasive, context-aware and mobile settings have been developed and used to easily allow for application development of user application in this domain. Argos also gives enterprise container type support to user-centric application development, without the complexity and limitations enforced by enterprise containers.

Annotations, notifications, reflection, dependency injection and hot deployment are together used to create the Arogs run-time extensible and adaptable personal container.
