Lightweight Service Oriented Architecture for Pervasive Computing

Pervasive computing appears like a new computing era based on networks of objects and devices evolving in a real world, radically different from distributed computing, based on networks of computers and data storages. Contrary to most context-aware approaches, the authors work on the assumption that pervasive software must be able to deal with a dynamic software environment before processing contextual data. After demonstrating that SOA (Service oriented Architecture) and its numerous principles are well adapted for pervasive computing, they present the extended SOA model for pervasive computing, called Service Lightweight Component Architecture (SLCA).
