چکیده

Within the next decade, as digital technologies become increasingly pervasive, we might find ourselves living with almost invisible, intelligent interactive systems an Ambient Intelligence that will form part of our everyday existence and ecology. The main challenge at this moment is to guarantee that the new Ambient Intelligence technologies are appropriate, sustainable and meet people's individual and social needs. Human Machine Interfaces are becoming increasingly complicated (more functions, metaphors, combined interfaces) which increases the challenge for configuring and controlling them for home users, office users and OEM related support services. In this paper we will propose a software product line approach for AmI environments. Its main purpose is to offer the best available services according to user preferences while the most suitable interfaces for controlling the environment are built and offered at run-time as well. Besides, we will outline a systematic approach where our AmI software product line could be used.

Managing Variability of Ambient Intelligence Middleware

ABsTRACT AmI technologies have to produce software embedded in a wide variety of everyday objects and devices with critical resource limitations. Furthermore, they must provide support to different types of applications and to many different kinds of users.

Configuration Process of a Software Product Line for AmI Middleware

Developing Ambient Intelligence applications is a very complex task since it implies dealing with low-level software and hardware resources. The use of a middleware platform may alleviate this task by providing a set of high-level and platform-independent services to these kinds of applications. Nevertheless, the tendency is that the middleware deployed in each device has a flat and homogeneous...
