Abstract
Pervasive computing calls for suitable programming models and associated supporting infrastructures to deal with large software systems dived in complex and dynamic network environments. Here we present TOTA, a new approach for the development of pervasive computing applications. TOTA proposes relying on tuple-based information to be spatially diffused in the network on the basis of some application-specific propagation rule, to be exploited by application agents to achieve context-awareness and to effectively coordinate with each other. As shown with the help of a case study scenario, TOTA, while promoting a simple programming model, is effective to facilitate access to distributed information, navigate in complex networks, and enforce complex coordination activities in an adaptive way.
