Abstract

The Eucalyptus architecture aims to support ubiquitous interaction between devices ranging from tiny low power devices through to fully fledged computer systems. Low power ad hoc networking presents problems for conventional middleware protocols both in terms of performance and of network availability. The work presented here addresses the problem of efficient and interoperable communication between low power devices, and describes interfaces and structures used to manage distributed systems composed of such devices.
