CDTOM: A Context-driven Task-oriented Middleware for Pervasive Homecare Environment

CDTOM: A Context-driven Task-oriented Middleware for Pervasive Homecare Environment

With the growing number of the elderly, we see a greater demand for home care, and the vision of pervasive computing is also floating into the domain of the household that aims to build a smart home which can assist inhabitants (users) to live more conveniently and harmoniously. Such health-care pervasive applications in smart home should focus on the inhabitant’s goal or task in diverse situat...

Aspect-Oriented Reconfigurable Middleware for Pervasive Systems

One of the main features of pervasive computing systems is their need to be dynamically reconfigured in order to properly adapt to the continuous changes in their environment conditions (context). An appropriate solution to provide reconfigurability is Aspect-Oriented Software Development, which allows that optional functionalities can be enabled/disabled and services can be replaced with light...

Reconfigurable Context-Sensitive Middleware for Pervasive Computing

A principal goal of pervasive computing is to make the actual computing part of it and its enabling technologies essentially transparent.1–3 This transparency is partially possible because a pervasive computing environment is a collection of embedded, wearable, and handheld devices wirelessly connected, possibly to fixed network infrastructures such as the Internet. Devices in such environments...

Reconfigurable Context-Sensitive Middleware for Pervasive Computing

RCSM is a combined software and hardware solution for ubiquitous computing, developed at the Arizona State University. The goal of the project is to deliver a framework which context-sensitive applications can use to collect data, dynamically discover devices and engage in spontaneous information exchange.
