- Abstract
Policies form an important part of management and can be an effective means of implementing self-adaptation in pervasive systems. Most policy-based systems focus on large-scale networks and distributed systems. Consequently, they are often fragmented, dependent on infrastructure and lacking flexibility and extensibility. This paper presents Pon- der2, a novel policy system that is suitable for a wide range of environments and applications. The design and implementation of Ponder2 emphasises simplicity, flexibil- ity and extensibility and provides users with the ability to interact easily with the managed system. Ponder2 can interact with other software and hardware components and is being used in environments ranging from single devices, to personal area networks, ad-hoc networks and distributed systems. We also describe PonderTalk, a high-level object orientated language inspired by Smalltalk for configuring and controlling Ponder2 systems.
