Towards a pervasive computing benchmark

Pervasive computing allows the coupling of the physical world to the information world, and provides a wealth of ubiquitous services and applications that allow users, machines, data, applications, and physical spaces to interact seamlessly with one another. In this paper, we propose a benchmark for evaluating pervasive computing environments. These proposed metrics facilitate the assessment and evaluation of different aspects of pervasive computing and its support for a wide variety of tasks.
