The pervasive computing domain is a very challenging one and requires a robust architectural model to facilitate the production of its systems. In this paper, we explain a case study using a simulation prototype to validate our baseline architecture of a reference architecture for the pervasive computing domain. The simulation prototype was very useful in predicting the reliability and availability of the system using the baseline architecture during runtime.
