Abstract

In pervasive computing, software applications vanish into the users' environment, spreading their functionality in computers integrated into everyday devices. This puts a great burden on programmers who have to enable the applications to dynamically partition across the devices, and to adapt such partitioning to the context of use. In this paper, we identify the need for resilient partitioning and propose the Resilient Actor model to structurally add this property to pervasive computing applications. Our model ensures that an application can be dynamically partitioned and it can always retract to the original or updated local state.
