Emerging pervasive information and computational environments require a content‐based middleware infrastructure that is scalable, self‐managing, and asynchronous. In this paper, we propose associative rendezvous (AR) as a paradigm for content‐based decoupled interactions for pervasive grid applications. We also present Meteor, a content‐based middleware infrastructure to support AR interactions. The design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of Meteor are presented. Evaluations include experiments using deployments on a local area network, the wireless ORBIT testbed at Rutgers University, and the PlanetLab wide‐area testbed, as well as simulations. Evaluation results demonstrate the scalability, effectiveness, and performance of Meteor to support pervasive grid applications. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
