Abstract
This paper describes the design and evaluation of a novel publish/subscribe communication framework for ubiquitous systems and applications. The motivation of this work is the realization of the fact that the publish/subscribe communication model has several features that make it suitable to serve as a communication substrate for ubiquitous systems. In particular, we argue that a publish/subscribe framework that is scalable and supports client mobility is a valuable asset for the development of ubiquitous applications. We present a reference implementation, Phoenix, that supports the deployment of publish/subscribe components in mobile devices such as smartphones. In addition, we evaluate the functionality of Phoenix and its performance, in order to determine its operational constraints for server and mobile platforms.
