Abstract

The primary motivation behind the paper is to take a step towards deploying pervasive environments. The scenario considered depicts an environment where information is made available pervasively and a user interested in obtaining that information gets it with the least effort and high transparency. The pervasive information considered is that of the paintings in an art museum and the user carries a device enabling him to be a part of the environment. We have also made an effort to propose and implement an optimal caching mechanism on the user device to overcome the obvious limitations on information availability in such an environment.
