Experiences with MundoCore

Pervasive computing environments require new communication and programming paradigms. In this paper we present our experiences from the implementation of MundoCore, a pervasive communication middleware. MundoCore´s service discovery allows us to discover all available services in the nearby environment, as our experimental results demonstrate. MundoCore offers different programming paradigms, such as DOOP and publish/subscribe. We show how a simple room-control application can be programmed with the different paradigms, and we highlight the advantages of the publish/subscribe paradigm.
