Towards Digital Preservation of Pervasive Device Information

In this paper we describe the importance of preserving personal information, stored on pervasive devices, on a reliable platform. Nowadays, pervasive devices such as mobile phones or personal multimedia players, provide software and hardware capabilities that allow individuals to read and create digital contents. Therefore it is important to provide the ability to archive these contents for later retrieval and use on other platforms. To address this need we introduce a framework that enables users to archive their pervasive device information for long-term preservation.
