Abstract:
Within the context of ubiquitous computing environments, we are carrying out research into the discovery of distributed, self describing software entities in home area networks. Motivated by the identification of a scalability limit to the already impressive performance of our â€œNexusâ€� middleware framework, we herein provide experimental data to validate our solution and demonstrate an improvement in scalability over other tested solutions by at least three orders of magnitude.
