A distributed object framework for pervasive computing applications

This thesis presents a new architectural abstraction for developing dynamic and adaptive software. Separating application logic from implementation mechanism provides developers with a simple API for constructing new application functionality by connecting together a set of generic, distributed software modules. Developers codify adaptive application structure and logic in a simple, synchronous environment, and use the API to control and monitor the resulting implementation of highly parallel and asynchronous module networks. The design and implementation for this architectural abstraction is embodied in the Resources framework, a language- and platform independent software component platform geared for pervasive computing application development.
