Overlay Networks have.found widespread popularity inrecenttimes, attributed mainly totheir prerogative andproductivity inmultitude ofnetworking areas, rangingfrommulticasting andpacket routing to efficient object or resourcelocation ina distributed environment. This paper explores theemployment of overlaynetworksin ubiquitous computing environments, encompassingthedesign ofan event managementmechanism forubiquitous entities. The devised architecture makesuse ofan existing DHT basedstructured overlay network andintegrates it withCORBA to develop a decentralized Event CommunicationMechanismfor Ubiquitous Environments. Thecontrived architecture emanates a completely decentralized, fault resilient andscalable Event Management Mechanism.
