Ubiquitous and Pervasive Application Design

 

Abstract


In this chapter, alternative operational models to the traditional Client/server paradigm (CSP) to design and development of ubiquitous and pervasive applications are presentend: Adaptive Servers/Client Paradigm (SCP) and Spontaneous Service Emergence Paradigm (SEP). Service discovery and composition systems based on these three paradigms and proposed in the literature are also presented with emphasis on a self-organizing and self-adapting approaches inspired by the immune system to implement SCP and SEP.
