Applications running on a wide range of devices and platforms are increasingly common. The technologies behind that range from implementing separate versions of the application for different platforms to the use of common middleware.
But applications already move beyond running single application instances on different devices. Some applications run on one device and are controlled on another. The most common example of this are currently TV sets that are controlled via remote control applications on smartphones. But other applications that make use of features of multiple devices are forthcoming, using the TV for elements that benefit from high resolution, tablets for ease of data entry and phones for payment and identification.
This situation provides challenges that go beyond the facilities of middleware conceived for applications running on individual devices. How do the individual elements that comprise a multi-device applications discover each other? How do they keep the communication secure? How can they protect against being tricked into communicating with malware? How can application elements and functionality moved from one device to another with the least amount of programming and user effort? Which part of the application maintains status information? What happens when one of the devices involved in a multi-device application fails?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
