Mobile Service Platforms Based On Opportunistic Computing: The Scampi Project

Pervasive networking devices, including mobile devices, generate an environment saturated by heterogeneous hardware and software resources. Novel mobile computing paradigms allow this environment to be organized and orchestrated. "Opportunistic computing" is a new approach that allows applications to take advantage of self-organizing services built, in a dynamic way, out of the mobile resources that are available in pervasive environments.
