This paper describes UbiWise, a simulator for ubiquitous computing. The simulator concentrates on computation and communications devices, either integrated with physical environments or carried by people. It maintains a three dimensional model of a physical environment viewed by users on a desktop computer through two windows. The other window from a Java program shows a close-up view of devices a user may manipulate using the desktop keyboard and mouse in place of physical controls. These windows attach as clients to a server maintaining the model of the environment. Multiple users can attach to the same server to create interactive ubiquitous computing scenarios. The paper describes how UbiWise looks to users and how it can be used as a tool for ubiquitous computing.
