Networked Embedded System middleware for heterogeneous physical devices in a distributed architecture

Objective

Producers of devices and components are increasingly facing the need for networking their own and complementary products in order to provide higher value-added solutions for their customers or because citizen centred demands require much more focus on intelligent solutions where the complexity is hidden behind user-friendly interfaces to promote Inclusion.

Given the enormous amount of heterogeneous devices, sensors and actuators with embedded systems already existing in the market, the diversity of the producers and manufactures, the different clock speed of the deployed technologies (from several decades to some months), there is a very large need for technologies and tools that easily can add, implement and exploit the intelligence embedded in the devices. The goal for the producers is to be able to build cost-efficient ambient intelligence systems with optimal performance, high confidence, reduced time to market and faster deployment and still build on the enormous assets of the installed base.

Due to fast changing user environments of mobile users, ambient services and applications adapt to changing local and environmental sets of accessible sensors and actuators, and must piece together partial states of internal and situational available knowledge. When the user moves around interacting with any private device and public surrounding computers, it's the right information that must follow her migrating from different hosts in changing environments.

The main objective of the project is to develop a platform for ambient computing supporting the self-adaptive interplay of different components, not only sensors but also modelling components, controlling components implementing the application logic, and actuators. The present project proposal for HYDRA proposes to address and solve this problem in technologies and tools for developing middleware solutions based on a device-independent, model-based system.
