A Framework for Error-Tolerant Scheme in Pervasive Computing

Open and dynamic pervasive computing environments make fault detection and error recovery challenging. In this paper, we present a policy based framework for error-tolerant scheme in pervasive computing. As policy-based scheme can separate the business logic (rules) from the controls (programming code) of the implementations, it is typically more flexible and adaptable than non-policy-based approach. Moreover, the policy mechanism is based on not only event-condition-action rules, but also the-Separation-of-Concerns-principle for easily extensible to support the error recovery scheme.
