Smart homes for all. An embedded middleware platform for pervasive and immersive environments for-all

01.09.2008 - 31.08.2011

Research funding project

Embedded systems are specialised computers used in larger systems or machines to control equipments such as automobiles, home appliances, communication, control and office machines. Such eprvasivity is particularly evident in immersive realities, i.e. scenarios in which invisible embedded systems need to continuously interact with human users in order to provide continuous sensed information and to react to service requests from the users themselves. The SM4ALL project will investigate an innovative middleware platform for inter-working of smart embedded services in immersive and person-centric environments, through the use of composability and semantic techniques for dynamic service reconfiguration. By leveraging on P2P technologies, the platform is inherently scalable and able to resist to devices ' chum and failures. This is applied to the challenging scenario of private houses and home-care assistancein presence of users with different abilities and needs.
