Managing ubiquitous networks — how do they do it?

At last year's ICUFN we presented an architecture for managing ubiquitous computing networks and applications. This year we want to show how we can implement this architecture to realise and deploy a small yet powerful management system. The use case for demonstrating our implementation is one of the most commonly used ubiquitous service - instant messaging. The described management system is currently deployed in a distributed testbed between several Irish universities and Cisco.
