Programming for Pervasive Computing Environments
Pervasive computing provides an attractive vision for the future of
computing. Computing power will be available everywhere. Mobile and
stationary devices will dynamically connect and coordinate to
seamlessly help people accomplish their tasks. However, for this
vision to become a reality, programmers must build applications that
constantly adapt to an environment in which people, devices, and
services keep coming and going. In my talk, I will explore how to
make the programmers' task feasible. I will discuss how to structure
necessary systems support and how programming for highly dynamic
computing environments impacts application development. I will
introduce one.world, a system that I have built, and reflect on my own
and other's experiences with it, which demonstrate the practicality of
building and deploying pervasive applications.
