Developing Ambient Intelligence Systems: A Solution based on Web Services

TL;DR: A base declarative language and associated core middleware is introduced, which supports the abstract specification of Ambient Intelligence applications together with their dynamic composition according to the environment.

Abstract: Enabling the ambient intelligence vision means that consumers will be provided with universal and immediate access to available content and services, together with ways of effectively exploiting them. Concentrating on the software system development aspect, this means that the actual implementation of any ambient intelligence application requested by a user can only be resolved at runtime according to the user's specific situation. This paper introduces a base declarative language and associated core middleware, which supports the abstract specification of Ambient Intelligence applications together with their dynamic composition according to the environment. The proposed solution builds on the Web services architecture, whose pervasiveness enables both services availability in most environments, and specification of applications supporting automated retrieval and composition. In addition, dynamic composition of applications is dealt in a way that enforces the quality of service of deployed applications in terms of security and performance.

Most frequently asked questions

1. What are the future works in "Developing ambient intelligence systems: a solution based on web services" ?

Their contribution lies in offering support for dealing with the mobile environment, further leading to support ubiquitous computing and networking using Web services.. Part of their research is dedicated to enhancing WSAMI towards the comprehensive integration of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks ( MANET ), further leading to investigate middleware-related services for managing highly dynamic networks and related mobility-induced failures.. However, adaptation remains an area for future work.. The authors are also investigating the exploitation of user and server profiles for the naming & discovery service, which will in particular enable an enhanced service selection process with respect to performance, and the integration of advanced prefetching techniques for enhancing response time.
