Distributed Pervasive Systems

Distributed pervasive systems are characterized by mobile, battery-powered devices that connect wirelessly and may lack centralized administration. Such systems require applications to embrace constant environmental changes, recognize sharing as default, and encourage ad hoc composition. For example, home systems integrate consumer electronics and increasingly smart appliances into a single, distributed network. Key challenges include achieving self-configuration, self-management, remote updates without compromising compatibility, and managing personal data within shared environments.

Distributed Pervasive Systems

Distributed Pervasive Systems


Above distributed systems characterized by their stability:
• nodes are fixed and have a more or less permanent and high-quality
connection to a network.

What happens when instability is the default condition?


Like, with mobile devices with batteries? Like, in modern distributed
pervasive systems?
Distributed Pervasive Systems
Distributed systems involving mobile and embedded computer devices
Characteristics
Small
battery-powered
Mobile
having only a wireless connection
although not all these characteristics apply to all devices
Distributed Pervasive Systems
Distributed pervasive system - is part of the surroundings -> inherently distributed.

Main features
• general lack of human administrative control
• devices can be configured by their owners
• they need to automatically discover their environment and fit in as
best as possible.
1.Embrace 2.Recognize

Requirements for pervasive applications

1.Embrace • a device must be continuously be aware of the fact that its


contextual environment may change all the time
Requirements
changes
for pervasive
2.Recognize • many devices in pervasive systems will be used in very different
ways by different users – make it easy to configure the suite of
applications
sharing as the applications running on a device
default

3.Encourage ad • devices generally join the system in order to access (and possibly
hoc composition provide) information
Example
Home Systems
• built around home networks
• consist of one or more personal computers
• integrate consumer electronics such as TVs, audio and video equipment, gaming
devices, (smart) phones, PDAs, and other personal wearables into a single
system.
• Now/Soon: all kinds of devices such as kitchen appliances, surveillance cameras,
clocks, controllers for lighting, and so on, will all be hooked up into a single
distributed system.
Challenges

System should be completely self-configuring and self-managing


e.g. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standards by which devices automatically obtain IP addresses, can
discover each other, etc.

Unclear how software and firmware in devices can be easily updated without manual
intervention, or when updates do take place, that compatibility with other devices is not
violated.

Managing "personal space.“


· A home system consists of many shared as well as personal devices
· Data in a home system is also subject to sharing restrictions.
