Call for Papers -- Advanced Computing Architectures and New Programming Models for Pervasive Systems

2024-08-28

Pervasive Systems are frameworks made of such a system comprising interactive sensing, processing, and understanding elements that are deeply entrenched as in ecosystem and aggressively but invisibly engage with all of it. Pervasive Systems are also known as ubiquitous computing systems. By incorporating multitudes of interconnected sensing and actuation gadgets through surroundings, a computerized skin capable of perceiving its immediate surroundings is created. These enormously dispersed networks of intelligent things connect with and evaluate and comprehend an enormous quantity of limited Spatio-temporal data concerning physical components and their surroundings to generate a view of the actual context.

These distributed networks of intelligent devices collaborate effectively to assist any application seamlessly, making optimal use of available resources regardless of expansion, in a manner in which the framework adapts to a constantly varying environment and functions and produces consistent performance. Equipment and interconnections are incredibly unreliable, mainly owing to resource restrictions, but the platform must be capable of offering dependable services. The advancement in the automation system, wireless sensor network, and mobile computer technology has translated theoretical study into a practical reality for ubiquitous computing. It is also now confronting several hurdles to establish a genuinely global computing platform: its architecture assessment.

The pervasive architecture evaluates how the end-user communicates with the ubiquitous network through the usage of middleware. Besides using a ubiquitous system application, various network-connected devices collaborate to offer services and processes that help transfer context-aware interconnected data. Besides the characteristics of an emerging application framework, a vision of ubiquitous computing is demonstrated that will help bring this goal to fruition and solve those problems. After that, it discusses the future emphasis of ubiquitous computing, which will be achieved via real-world implications. Pervasive Systems was developed to manage distributed computation on a high-performance service, which was not accessible at the original development time.

Currently, the New Programming Models are regarded as a phenomenally competent approach; they have been demonstrated in performance in one of the most advanced environments globally. Hardware and infrastructural capabilities have now been immersed with and beyond the capabilities of traditional method. As a result, businesses developing distributed systems with stringent requirements have issues that cannot be completely addressed using the standard object-oriented programming (OOP) perspective but may be addressed using the New Programming Models. The New Programming Models would resolve inconsistencies among classic programming concepts and the realities of current multi-threaded, multi-processor platforms. Additionally, the encapsulation difficulty, the impression of parallelization on current computer architectures, and now the appearance of a call stack are relevant matters that need specific consideration. Hence this special issue focuses on advanced computing architectures and new programming models for pervasive systems.
