Abstract

Ambient Supported Living systems for people with physical, sensory or cognitive restrictions have to guarantee that the environment is safe, fault tolerant and universally accessible. In addition it is necessary to overcome technological challenges, common to ubiquitous computing, such as the design of a middleware layer that ensures the interoperability of multiple wired and wireless networks and performs discovery actions. On top of that the system has to provide efficient support to the intelligent applications designed to assist people living there. In this paper we present the AmbienNet architecture designed to allow structured context information to be shared among the intelligent applications that support people with disabilities or elderly people living alone.
