This article presents a new comprehensive approach to realize a sufficient trade-off between the CAP properties (i.e., consistency, availability, and partition tolerance) in the large-scale pervasive information systems. To achieve these critical properties, the capabilities of both cloud computing and web services were exploited in developing the components of the proposed approach. These components include a cloud-based replication architecture for ensuring high data availability and achieving partition tolerance, a web services-based middleware for maintaining the eventual consistency, and a data caching scheme to enable the mobile computing elements to conduct update transactions during the disconnection periods. The evaluation of the performance aspects revealed that the proposed approach is able to achieve a load balance, lower propagation delay, and higher cache hit ratio, as compared to other baseline approaches.
