Abstract

Pervasive and mobile computing call for suitable middleware and programming models to support the activities of complex software systems in dynamic network environments. In this paper we present TOTA (“Tuples On The Air”), a novel middleware and programming approach for supporting adaptive context-aware activities in pervasive and mobile computing scenarios. The key idea in TOTA is to rely on spatially distributed tuples, adaptively propagated across a network on the basis of application-specific rules, for both representing contextual information and supporting uncoupled interactions between application components. TOTA promotes a simple way of programming that facilitates access to distributed information, navigation in complex environments, and achievement of complex coordination tasks in a fully distributed and adaptive way, mostly freeing programmers and system managers form the need to take care of lowlevel issues related to network dynamics. This paper includes both application examples to clarify concepts and performance figures to show the feasibility of the approach.
