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.
