Pervasive computing envisions environments where computers are blended into everyday objects in order to provide added-value services to people. Already today, there is a growing number of advanced embedded systems around us, extended with computing and communication capabilities. However, pervasive applications raise major challenges in term of software engineering and remain hard to develop, deploy,...
Smart Homes aim to improve the daily lives of the inhabitants by integrating a variety of context-aware applications, generally pertaining to multiple fields and provided by different actors. These applications share the same context and may have to compete for the access to resources in their surroundings. Sharing resources leads to conflicts, particularly if these applications act in contradictory...
Pervasive computing promotes environments where smart, communication-enabled devices cooperate to provide services to people. Due to their inherent complexity, many pervasive applications are built on top of service-oriented platforms, providing a set of facilities simplifying their development and execution. In this paper, we present such a platform, iCasa, extended with an autonomic, service-oriented...
Pervasive computing vision considers the growing concentration of small computers merged into everyday objects to enhance environment with added-value services. In this vision computing systems are numerous, heterogeneous, and dynamic, yet seamlessly integrated. The complexity of pervasive environments can lead to conflicts between systems, but it can also be a strength if systems manage to collaborate...
Pervasive computing envisions environments where computers are blended into everyday objects in order to provide added-value services to people. This new form of computing gives rise to huge economical and societal expectations. However, pervasive applications raise major challenges in term of software engineering and remain hard to develop, deploy, execute and maintain. Context-awareness, in particular,...
Healthcare costs are booming as population ages and need healthcare. Pervasive applications are expected to take healthcare into people's homes and thus cut health-related costs. However, the lack of appropriate middleware to collect and integrate pervasive data is a brake to their development. In this paper, we present the integration of iCasa and Cilia, two service-oriented frameworks, and show...
In this paper, we propose an approach based on Formal Concept Analysis in order to organize the services registry at runtime and to allow the ”best” service selection among heterogeneous and secured services according to a set of specifications. This solution has been validated in the European SODA project on pervasive applications.
