Abstract
More and more intelligent devices are becoming part of our life. In the near future, these intelligent devices will also be brought to our homes to provide comfort and convenience to habitants. A considerable number of studies have been made on service management systems for pervasive environments in order to coordinate these intelligent devices; however only few or none of them have addressed the system availability and robustness issue. These two aspects are fundamental for service management systems in smart homes, because there are usually pervasive services that are critical to the habitants’ health and life. In this paper, we propose a Pervasive Service Management System (PSMS) with self-organizing ability. Additionally, we have designed a failure detection and recovery protocol to enhance the availability and robustness of the PSMS. Experiment results show that the proposed solution can detect software failure efficiently without causing network instability, hence preserving the availability and robustness of the PSMS.
