Programming Self-organizing Pervasive Applications with SAPERE

SAPERE (“Self-aware Pervasive Service Ecosystems”) is a general framework to support the decentralized execution of self-organizing pervasive computing services. In this paper, we present the rationale underlying SAPERE and its reference conceptual architecture. Following, we sketch the middleware infrastructure of SAPERE and detail the interaction model implemented by it, based on a limited set of “eco-laws”. Finally, we show how in SAPERE one can express general-purpose distributed self-organizing schemes.
