Abstract

Mobile computing defines a very dynamic and challenging scenario for which software engineering practices are still largely in their initial developments. LIME is a middleware designed to enable the rapid development of dependable applications in the mobile environment. The model underlying LIME allows for the coordination of physical and logical mobile units by exploiting a reactive, transiently shared tuple space whose contents changes according to connectivity. We report on initial experiences in developing applications for physical mobility using LIME
