Abstract
A pervasive computing system comprises a set of client devices and a network of small computing units, referred to as nodes. The client devices and nodes run programs that communicate with each other to solve a given problem, but the client devices and the nodes use different software execution environments and protocols. A host server acts as an intermediary between the client devices and the nodes, bridging the gap between the different software execution environments and protocols of the client devices and the nodes.
