Runtime Models for Self-Adaptation in the Ambient Assisted Living Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ambient Assisted Living systems (AAL) must fulfill several challenging requirements as, for instance, the ability to render their services at a quality level that is high enough to enable an independent living. This requires a sound understanding of the current situation of the users, their environment, and, the availability of required resources. Further, AAL systems need the ability to adapt and extend the system behavior, as the demands for living assistance substantially differs between different individuals (differential aging) and changes during a person’s life. Both are requirements for a sound adaptation support at runtime that require adequate models. In this paper we identify stereotypical adaptation scenarios in the AAL domain, elaborate on components and their respective models to support the adaptation scenarios, and discuss the evolution of these models.

Runtime Models Based on Dynamic Decision Networks: Enhancing the Decision-making in the Domain of Ambient Assisted Living Applications
Dynamic decision-making for self-adaptive systems (SAS) requires the runtime trade-off of multiple non-functional requirements (NFRs) -aka quality propertiesand the costsbenefits analysis of the alternative solutions. Usually, it requires the specification of utility preferences for NFRs and decisionmaking strategies. Traditionally, these preferences have been defined at design-time. In this pa...
متن کاملAn Experimental Facility for Cross-layer Adaptation of Service Oriented Distributed Systems
Ubiquitous and IoT (Internet of Things) systems consist of many parts, are highly distributed and need to be adaptive in a highly dynamic environment. The exploitation of adaptation possibilities at different layers needs to be coordinated to get an optimal result. However, it is difficult to test and evaluate such distributed systems with regard to their adaptive behaviour. This paper presents...
متن کاملOn Context Modeling in Ambient Assisted Living
Within Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) context awareness is an important feature of intelligent user supporting services. In this domain different requirements regarding context modeling can be identified that are not in the focus of current context models. A consistent modeling approach is needed that supports different aspects of using context: dynamic integration of context sensors into a smar...

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the accuracy and runtime of several combinations of algorithms for keypoints detection and description. The algorithms are used to localize a person in a room as the first step of a computer vision based fall detection system, part of an Ambient assisted living (AAL) solution.
متن کاملModel-Driven Engineering of Adaptation Engines for Self-Adaptive Software: Executable Runtime Megamodels
The development of self-adaptive software requires the engineering of an adaptation engine that controls and adapts the underlying adaptable software by means of feedback loops. The adaptation engine often describes the adaptation by using runtime models representing relevant aspects of the adaptable software and particular activities such as analysis and planning that operate on these runtime ...
