The proliferation of novel wireless network technologies creates new opportunities for complex peerto-peer information dissemination systems. A key challenge that remains in this area is how to select the best algorithms and protocols to communicate effectively on a large scale. In this paper, we focus in particular on large scale mobile networks where effectiveness depends on the requirements of the application at hand and on the context of the peers in the network. We propose a framework for context-aware adaptive information sharing that allows the evaluation of and comparison with alternative information routing protocols using network metrics to measure a variety of quality attributes of the information dissemination protocols. These metrics can then be used to verify which protocol is best suited for a particular application. We illustrate our evaluation framework with different information dissemination protocols in an inter-vehicle communication scenario.

“…Research on methods of performance evaluation for networking pertaining to pervasive computing systems, however, is far more limited. Williamson et al (2006) proposed data dissemination algorithms based on gossiping, a class of probabilistic routing protocol, in support of pervasive computing systems. They also established a framework for evaluating the performance of these algorithms.…”

PurposeA decade and a half after the debut of pervasive computing, a large number of prototypes, applications, and interaction interfaces have emerged. However, there is a lack of consensus about the best approaches to create such systems or how to evaluate them. To address these issues, this paper aims to develop a performance evaluation framework for pervasive computing systems.Design/methodology/approachBased on the authors' experience in the Gator Tech Smart House – an assistive environment for the elderly, they established a reference scenario that was used to guide the analysis of the large number of systems they studied. An extensive survey of the literature was conducted, and through a thorough analysis, the authors derived and arrived at a broad taxonomy that could form a basic framework for evaluating existing and future pervasive computing systems.FindingsA taxonomy of pervasive systems is instrumental to their successful evaluation and assessment. The process of creating such taxonomy is cumbersome, and as pervasive systems evolve with new technological advances, such taxonomy is bound to change by way of refinement or extension. This paper found that a taxonomy for something so broad as pervasive systems is very complex. It overcomes the complexity by focusing the classifications on key aspects of pervasive systems, decided purely empirically and based on the authors own experience in a real‐life, large‐scale pervasive system project.Originality/valueThere are currently no methods or frameworks for comparing, classifying, or evaluating pervasive systems. The paper establishes a taxonomy – a first step toward a larger evaluation methodology. It also provides a wealth of information, derived from a survey of a broad collection of pervasive systems.

Context-aware frameworks heavily rely on specific context information and extensive descriptions covering user preferences or service capabilities. These needs often constrain the easy and dynamic use of such frameworks in highly distributed and decentralized environments as needed information may be not available or the domain specific framework setup is complex and time-consuming.In this paper, we combine the ideas of two research areas, namely context-aware frameworks and autonomous data dissemination, to address these issues. A specific framework is used as a proof of concept incorporating a bio-inspired data dissemination mechanism to gather, disseminate, and provide important data purposefully. Respective challenges are identified resulting in an adaptable user-specific data dissemination approach that increases the availability of needed context information and decreases the necessity for defining complex descriptions redundantly.
