Abstract
A residential care home is a suitable environment to implement a software system providing users the functionality and the information required at any time, whichever place, and circumstance. The advances of technology in the last few years have made the design of the system possible; the system will employ features regarding collaboration, ubiquity, and context-awareness. Firstly, defining the architecture of the system is necessary to guarantee a proper design and implementation. This chapter deals with those subjects. The architectural proposal is described from the hardware and software perspectives. The hardware architecture shows the distribution of the hardware components to be used: mobile devices, servers, communications, etc.; on the other hand, the software architecture shows the distribution of the system components by layers based on the functionality and information processing. Awareness is a key issue to be considered in the design of the proposed system from the point of view of collaboration; therefore, an analysis about how to handle and consider this feature on both architectures is depicted.

Context Modelling Approaches for Mobile Systems
UC is a model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. As opposed to the desktop paradigm, in which a single user consciously engages a single device for a specialized purpose, someone “using” ubiquitous computing engages many computational devices and systems simultaneously, in the course of ordinary activities, and may not necessarily even be aware that they are doing so. Ubiquitous computing encompasses a wide range of research topics, including distributed computing, mobile computing, sensor networks, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence

Towards a Taxonomy of Display Styles for Ubiquitous Multimedia
The term ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) captures the idea of integrating computers into the environment rather than treating them as distinct objects, which should result in more “natural” forms of interaction with a “smart” environment than current, screen-based user interfaces.

Embedding Ubiquitous Technologies
This integrates computers into the environment through everyday objects that would enable people to interact with information-processing devices more naturally and casually than they currently do regardless of location or circumstance. For purposes of this paper, the definition is further delineated as a one-to-one computing environment in which each student and teacher has one Internet-connected wireless computing device for use both in the classroom and at home that is not shared with others ( Hayes Connection & Greaves Group, 2006 )

The MOBEL Project: Experiences from Applying User-Centered Methods for Designing Mobile ICT for Hospitals
A human-computer interaction model introduced by Mark Weiser (Weiser 1991), where computer technology to a high degree allows itself to reside silently into the background of the users’ attention. A central notion in the ubiquitous computing paradigm is to integrate computers seamlessly into our everyday activities and physical environments. By enabling these embedded computers to automatically sense and adapt to their use context, ubiquitous computing seeks to render the computer “invisible” in use.

Information Security at Large Public Displays
The vision of ‘Ubiquitous Computing’ was first formulated by Weiser (1991), who argues, that computers should be integrated into the physical environment, and hence be effectively invisible to the user, rather than distinct objects on the desktop. Weiser envisioned the omnipresence of tiny, wirelessly interconnected computers, which are embedded into just about any kind of everyday object (Mattern, 2002). Regarding the interaction with ubiquitous computing applications, the user is not necessarily part of each transaction, instead he controls the system from the outside (Tennenhouse, 2000).
