Reasoning about Time, Location, and Identity in Distributed Pervasive Computing

چکیده
To become reality pervasive computing, among other things, needs new kinds of middleware. In this paper we present an important middleware that helps pervasive computing applications reason about events using time, location, and identity information. The middleware consists of reasoning operations, event store, participation protocol, and communication model. The reasoning operations provide the means to navigate the three-dimensional event space with time, location, and identity axes. The event store acts as a repository of information that applications reason about. The participation protocol allows application components to dynamically interact with one another. The communication model allows the components to exchange information. We also evaluate our middleware by showing how applications can be developed using the system, by measuring the performance of the reasoning operations, and by studying the performance of an application pipeline.

A context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...

The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
