Abstract

The emerging proliferation of devices with sensing and networking technologies offers opportunities for delivering pervasive services through interactions between spatially local resources. Here, applications are challenged to become aware of their surroundings: to discover, filter and reason on information relevant to their goals. Without centralised services to control information flow, decentralised mechanisms must partition these responsibilities across the environment. This paper explores a bio-chemically inspired approach to realising awareness in an open, dynamic setting, building towards complex self-organising awareness algorithms for data collection, reasoning, and querying. Through simulation we provide a preliminary evaluation of the proposed approach.
