102Patterns: Pervasive and Rich Device Access Solutions
6.1 Application types
What are the types of online and offline applications? What are the scenarios
that demonstrate such pervasive application types? What are the common
design patterns for offline and online implementations of the appropriate
application types?
These are the questions we are looking to answer in this chapter.
6.1.1 Solution space
Figure6-1 on page103 shows the different application sets in the solution space
for pervasive applications. A pervasive application to be implemented will most
