Architectural abstractions for space and time awareness
Diego Bernini · 2010
Space and time are common high-level concepts in several classes of systems, however they seldom are first class concerns at the software architecture level. In particular they have a crucial role in responsive environments, i.e. technology-augmented ordinary environments which are able to sense and respond to their inhabitants. The paper presents the Ph.D. proposal of the author, which aims to define suitable architectural abstractions to manage space and time in responsive environments. The paper first outlines the problem, then presents the related work and finally describes the proposed solution approach, the expected results and their validation plan.
