Voluntary Cooperation in Pervasive Computing Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
The advent of pervasive computing is moving us towards a new paradigm for computing in terms of ad hoc services. This carries with it a certain risk, from a security and management viewpoint. Users become increasingly responsible for their own hosts. A form of service transaction based on minimal trust is discussed. A proof of concept implementation of nondemand (voluntary) services is discussed for pervasive computing environments. ‘Voluntary Remote Procedure Call’ is a test-implementation of the proposed protocol integrated into cfengine, to show how voluntary cooperation of nodes can allow a cautious exchange of collaborative services, based on minimal trust. An analysis of implementation approaches followed by a discussion of the desirability of this technology is presented.

A context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...

متن کاملContext-aware Self Adapting Systems: a Ground for the Cooperation of Data, Software, and Services
Modern technologies related to Pervasive and Ubiquitous computing require software to self adapt to different operating environments and situations, in a word, to different contexts. Several approaches have been proposed to solve this problem both in the Data Management and in the Programming Languages communities, however these efforts have proceeded along separate paths with little, if no int...
