Abstract. Conventional middleware architectures suffer from insufficient module-level reusability and the ability to adapt in face of functionality evolution and diversification....
—Application mobility is an efficient way to mask uneven conditioning and reduce users’ distractions in pervasive environments. However, since mobility brings more dynamism and...
In this paper, we survey the models and approaches applied to the middleware services of pervasive computing environments. Architectural styles and patterns introduced in the doma...
— Distributed applications require specific middleware support for semantics and run-time constraints for a wide range of hardware or software configurations. However, their fu...
This paper presents a middleware platform allowing the dissemination of software components on handheld devices forming a disconnected MANET. It is based on a model that exploits ...
