A Virtualization Infrastructure that Supports Pervasive Computing
by Larry Rudolph
Virtualization technology—as applied in embedded devices such as mobile smart phones— is a practical means for the widespread deployment of pervasive computing applications. As anyone who reads this magazine knows, pervasive computing is all about moving beyond the desktop PC to the computational and digital devices that surround us in our daily lives. The "application" is dynamically spread over multiple, physically separate I/O devices, with data streaming between them. These devices are part of or controlled by one or more computers containing the middleware that provides the ability to use I/O devices on remote machines.
