Tools and Techniques for Dynamic Reconfiguration and Interoperability of Pervasive Systems
Abstract
Pervasive systems embody all the time, everywhere, transparent services, such as those provided by modern critical infrastructure systems, computer-supported health care networks, and smart living environments. The infrastructure envisioned is composed of heterogeneous computing devices, ranging from supercomputers and powerful workstations, to small devices such as sensors, PDAs, and cell phones, augmented by software and middleware. The main themes of this chapter are tools and techniques for dynamic reconfiguration and interoperability of pervasive systems. It provides an introduction to mobile agent technology, which can be employed in achieving interoperability among multiple interacting pervasive systems. The chapter discusses sensor networks, which support a considerable fraction of the pervasive systems currently deployed, along with software and hardware approaches to their dynamic reconfiguration. It focuses on collaboration and interoperability among independently deployed sensor networks. The chapter illustrates the application of these tools and techniques in two different pervasive computing contexts.
