Smart spaces are ordinary environments where people and facilities can interact. The nature of this domain gives rise to some important issues which must be considered such as the integration of heterogeneous facilities, the need to dynamically change the number of participants, transient behavior, peer-to-peer interactions and quality of service needs. All these issues increase both the cost and...
Future software systems will be dynamic service oriented systems. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides an extensible and dynamic architecture to be used, for example, in smart environments. In such an environment, software has to adapt its behaviour dynamically. Thus, there is a need for Verifying and Validating (V & V) the adaptations at run-time. This paper contributes to that by introducing...
Nowadays ubiquitous computing is spreading to all scopes of our lives. Smart environments are present at every location such us homes with automation and control devices, offices full of control networks to assist workers, or hotels with even more control devices in order to save energy and satisfy guests preferences. This paper focus on the proposal of a Reference Architecture for developing Smart...
In this paper, we sketch a model for interaction between smart environment and their inhabitants. We also introduce Touch & Compose, a concept for composing applications which utilizes this interaction model. The basic idea of Touch & Compose is to assemble applications from the resources that the user has selected manually by touching them with her mobile terminal. Resources (devices, services,...
