Metrics for Evaluating Pervasive Middleware
J. Madhusudanan, V. Prasanna Venkatesan · International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applications · 2013
Pervasive computing aims at developing smart environ ments which enable user to interact with other devices.Pervasive computing includes a middleware to support interoperability, heterogeneity and self-management among different platforms.It provides efficient co mmunications and context awareness among devices.Middleware fo r pervasive computing provides much more attention to coordinate the devices in the smart environ ment.The evaluation of the pervasive middleware is a challenging endeavor.The scope of evaluating smart environ ment is main ly increasing due to various devices involved in that environment.In this paper evaluation metrics are proposed based on the contexts available in the environment, how the devices are used, security and autonomy of smart applications.These met rics are used for evaluating different kind of smart applications.
