Pervasive computing enables information and applications to be accessed anytime, anywhere, using any device. For a user to have a satisfying experience accessing a pervasive application using any device, the application developer must author the application to execute on multiple devices. In the past few years, there has been a proliferation of computing devices with a wide range of capabilities; these devices include PDAs, internet-capable phones, and consumer appliances. Creating and managing applications for this diversity of devices has become a significant challenge. For example, building an interactive web application that can be accessed by multiple browser-based devices usually means writing separate applications for each device. This is problematic, since the application developer must reflect any modification in several versions of the application.
