Jesús Barba, Félix del Jesús, David Villa, Francisco Moya, Fernando Rincón, Maria José, Juan Carlos · Ambient Intelligence · 2010
In this chapter we have shown our middleware guidelines for a holistic approach to AmI environment development. The object oriented paradigm drives the development of the middleware services making it easier their utilization and modelling. Besides, the integration of heterogeneous devices is performed in a seamless way. The completeness of our approach includes service development support, service discovery facilities, a tool-chain for the most complicate tasks in the case of HwOs and embedded software generation, a simulation framework and more. Current work is focused on the extension of the pool of services that can be offered to the industry and service developer's community in order to increase the capabilities of the middleware.
