ABSTRACT
In ubiquitous computing systems, publish/subscribe communication paradigm is usually used to exchange information between applications, services and devices, for its ability to decouple communication participants. In these systems, dynamic reconfiguration is an important requirement, as participants, due to their mobile nature, are commonly added to the system or removed from it at run-time. In this paper, we present a model of redefinable events intended to support dynamic reconfiguration of communication schemes in ubiquitous systems. Additionally, we provide a set of techniques to support this model in the publish/ subscribe paradigm. Finally, we have implemented a middleware based on the model and techniques proposed to show the feasibility of the approach.
