Abstract
Pervasive ICT [1] heralds a world full of vast numbers of devices and software entities that are able to communicate with one another. For devices, the communication will typically be via wireless networking technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or 3G. A key challenge to realising the pervasive ICT vision, or at least to make it a truly useful vision, is the development of an associated set of technologies that will allow these underlying components to be assembled in real time, to provide useful applications and services. Initial progress towards this goal is proceeding under several initiatives such as Web Services, GRID computing, and peer-to-peer (P2P) computing. These areas in fact have many fundamental underlying concerns in common.
