Abstract :
A new class of distributed applications, pervasive management support systems, combine sensor network and Grid technologies to support the ongoing management of evolving physical systems. Essentially, PMS systems marry reality and simulation and support sophisticated what-if analysis to help people make faster and better real-world decisions.
