Abstract

Distributed interactive systems often rely on platform information, used for example when migrating a user interface to a small-screen device, or when opportunistically recruiting available peripherals. There has been to-date little work in platform modeling for distributed applications. In this paper, we demonstrate that distributed platform models are well supported by a publish and subscribe architecture accompanied by a rich filtering language. This approach allows organic construction of networks with no centralized locus of control, high scalability and fault-tolerance, and flexible customization to the needs of heterogeneous device types.
