Abstract
This paper focuses on building distributed and pervasive information management systems using the novel tool HDS (Heterogeneous Distributed System). First, we frame the presented research in the scope of information agent technology by reviewing relevant work on the subject and by stating the notable role that communication plays in such a field. Then, we introduce HDS and we provide details on its functionality and internals. Finally, we present the RAIS (Remote Assistant for Information Sharing) pervasive information management system and we show how it has been recently retargeted to use HDS as its main communication and distribution vehicle.
