Paper Abstract:
|
Pervasive software succeeds when it is leveraged permeable into the background of everyday life and work supporting
users more properly to fulfill their tasks than they used to do it with pre-existing techniques. Hence, we hypothesize, that
a particular pervasive system may comprise certain styles of intelligent networking embedded systems, secure
communication patterns, context-aware assisting, novel techniques of interaction and many more sophisticated features.
Building such highly flexible systems poses diverse challenges for an underlying middleware platform. This paper
reportsfrom a developers point of viewon experiences we gained from using a generic middleware framework that
targets the rapid development of pervasive systems. Based on two case studies, conducted in the healthcare and home
automation domain, we describe in detail how we designed and deployed two prototypical ubiquitous applications. We
elaborate the difficulties our designated middleware framework helped to us to overcome, and at the same time look on
the intrinsic complexity networked embedded systems constitute. Finally, we conclude with a set of lessons learned for
designing pervasive systems and sketch ideas for future work. |
