System architecture, foundations and methods (WP6)
The overall objective of this
workpackage is to lay the foundations and methodologies for
the development of a new range of components, architectures,
guidelines and standards that underpins the future
development of ambient systems.
-
To develop an open platform for
ambient systems with an extensible set of
universally installable tools, devices, and services
that bridge the gap between the needs of different
stakeholders and the core ambient system infrastructure.
Our ambition is to establish this platform as a standard
for investigation of ambient systems environments in
research and academia.
-
To lay the foundations for
understanding interactions and methodologies in ambient
systems with the conceptual frameworks, models and
notations needed to describe the structure and behavior
of system components from a variety of research
perspectives. The work on foundations will be pursued
with a view of advancing the research discipline of
ubiquitous computing and is aimed to overcome the
current ad hoc nature of designs and evaluations.
-
Definition of novel concepts and
methodologies for future ambient systems with a high
level of user-satisfaction, security and efficiency.
-
To lay the foundations for the development of a new
range of guidelines, methodologies and standards
that supports the future development of ambient systems.
