Ubiquitous data management in public transport

Abstract

A case of practical use of ubiquitous data management is presented in this paper; specifically the intensive-data management of a ubiquitous environment working in a public transport context. The description of the working principles of the system is made addressing the specific characteristics of the pervasive environment that are: autonomy, mobility, heterogeneity, distribution and lack of a common catalogue and schema, describing how these aspects affect the data management.
