Pervasive computing, with its focus on users and their tasks
rather than on computing devices and technology, provides
an attractive vision for the future of computing. But, while
hardware and networking infrastructure to realize this vision
are increasingly becoming a reality, precious few applications
run in this infrastructure. We believe that this lack of applications
can be attributed to three characteristics that are
inadequately addressed by existing systems. First, devices
are heterogeneous, ranging from wearable devices to conventional
computers. Second, network connectivity often
is limited and intermittent. And, third, interactions typically
involve several autonomous administrative domains. In
this paper, we introduce a system architecture that directly
addresses these challenges. Our architecture is targeted at
application developers and administrators, and it supports
mobile computations, persistent storage, and resource discovery
within a single, comprehensive framework.
