As computing devices become ubiquitous in our everyday environments, the demand for domain specific applications is radically increasing. This project addresses the significant challenges surrounding communication and coordination for such pervasive computing deployments. The goal of this research is to investigate the feasibility of applying an application-centered research agenda to the task of creating programming support for pervasive computing applications. The research uses designated pervasive computing applications to drive the research agenda, dictating the coordination and communication requirements at lower levels. Within the scope of supporting pervasive computing, the project is developing (1) new programming constructs that enable developers to programmatically specify complex desired behaviors, (2) context measurement and abstraction to enable both adaptive applications and communication protocols and (3) a novel communication substrate for connecting pervasive resources to the dynamic network participants that interact with them. The results of the project will enable domain programmers to create applications tailored for their specific environments while reducing the level of complexity these programmers must manage. The research results will be evaluated through the use of extensive case study deployments using interactions with researchers and practitioners in targeted domains. The application-centered focus of the project brings visibility to pervasive computing concerns, allowing students at all levels as well as the broader community to become exposed to pervasive computing and its potential within everyday applications.

随着计算设备在我们的日常环境中变得无处不在，对域特定应用的需求正在从根本上增加。 该项目解决了这种普遍计算部署的沟通和协调围绕的重大挑战。 这项研究的目的是调查将以应用程序为中心的研究议程应用于为普遍计算应用程序创建编程支持的任务的可行性。 该研究使用指定的普遍计算应用程序来推动研究议程，决定较低级别的协调和沟通要求。 在支持普遍计算的范围内，该项目正在开发（1）新的编程结构，使开发人员能够编程地指定复杂的所需行为，（2）上下文测量和抽象以启用自适应应用程序和通信协议，以及（3）与他们相互作用的动态网络参与者连接的新型通信基础。 该项目的结果将使域程序人员能够为其特定环境量身定制的应用程序，同时降低这些程序员必须管理的复杂性水平。 研究结果将通过使用与目标领域中研究人员和从业者的互动使用广泛的案例研究部署来评估。 以应用程序为中心的项目为普遍的计算问题带来了可见性，使各个层次的学生以及更广泛的社区能够暴露于普遍的计算及其在日常应用中的潜力。
