Abstract

Emerging pervasive information and computational environments require a content-based middleware infrastructure that is scalable, self-managing, and asynchronous. In this paper, we propose associative rendezvous (AR) as a paradigm for content-based decoupled interactions for pervasive grid applications. We also present Meteor, a content-based middleware infrastructure to support AR interactions. The design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of Meteor are presented. Evaluations include experiments using deployments on a local area network, the wireless ORBIT testbed at Rutgers University, and the PlanetLab wide-area testbed, as well as simulations. Evaluation results demonstrate the scalability, effectiveness, and performance of Meteor to support pervasive grid applications. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
