Scalability imposes itself as a great setback for pervasive computing research. This paper presents a novel approach for scalable resource allocation which harnesses the power of scalable systems by creating what we call an open space. The fundamental concept behind open spaces lies in utilizing resources beyond user's current location within a pervasive computing environment, while accommodating user mobility patterns. We discuss the idea of domes that form an open space environment. We also discuss how resources are allocated and migrated through domes. We present a schema of how resources can be dynamically allocated and shared between users within the environment in a transparent and efficient manner. We also discuss how we accommodate user mobility to eventually achieve an open space structure.
