A Dynamic Updating Mechanism of Devices in Pervasive Computing Environments
Gang Wu · Computer Engineering and Science · 2012
Devices are the key of the pervasive computing applications to acquire the context changing and also take the responding actions.Since device updating happens occasionally in a running pervasive application,it is necessary to study how to minimize the cost of renewal to popularize the application.Based on our former work,which is an adaptive and scalable context-aware architecture for pervasive computing and its prototype is implemented based on OSGi/R-OSGi,this paper proposes a dynamic updating mechanism of devices to solve the problem related with the device heterogeneity.With this mechanism the developers of the application need not to be involved in device updating.
