Abstract
Pervasive computing has received an intensive interest in the past years and will be a fertile source of challenging research problems in computer systems for many years to come, but there is still no good model to distinguish it from other technologies, such as distributed system, mobile computing, etc. This paper presents a Rich Servants Service (RSS) Model to help researchers understand pervasive computing, demonstrate the features and evaluate the implementations of pervasive computing systems. The model also exposes several research problems of pervasive computing for further research. A prototype based on the RSS Model is designed and demonstrated to prove the interpretation and evaluation capability of the model.
