Abstract

Advancements in sensor technology, wireless communications and information technology has enabled the success of new types of dynamic computing systems. However designing systems which are flexible and can adapt to the changing needs of the user remains a major research challenge. Flexibility and adaptability are fundamental requirements for Ambient Intelligent (AmI) systems. The complexity involved in designing applications and devices which change and adapt their behaviour automatically based on their context or situation is well recognised. Providing technology which meets the changing needs of the user is heavily reliant on the appropriate infrastructure design. This work outlines the development of an Ambient Middleware framework for Context-Aware systems. The framework will integrate with sensor technologies, intelligent algorithms and the semantic web.
