Abstract
There are some important requirements to build effective smart spaces, like human aspects, sensing, activity recognition, context awareness, etc. However, all of them require adequate system support to build systems that work in practice. In this chapter, we discuss system level support services that are necessary to build working smart spaces. We also include a full discussion of system abstractions for pervasive computing taking in account naming, protection, modularity, communication, and programmability issues.
