Abstract

An important problem in pervasive environments is detecting predicates on sensed variables in an asynchronous distributed setting to determine context. We do not assume the availability of synchronized physical clocks because they may not be available or may be too expensive for predicate detection in such environments with a (relatively) low event occurrence rate. We address the problem of detecting each occurrence of a global predicate, at the earliest possible instance, by proposing a suite of on-line middleware protocols having varying degrees of accuracy. We analyze the degree of accuracy for the proposed protocols. The extent of false negatives and false positives is determined by the run-time message processing latencies.
