Integrating Sensor Nodes into a Middleware for Ambient Intelligence

Abstract

The development of infrastructures enabling dynamic and automated composition of IT systems is a big challenge. This paper addresses a new idea of allowing component-based systems to reconfigure themselves. Therefore, the authors propose DAiSI - a Dynamic Adaptive System Infrastructure for dynamic integration of components as well as their reconfiguration during runtime. Thereby, one of the features of the infrastructure is that it is capable of binding components based on their availability. In this paper the authors concentrate on presenting how resource constrained sensor nodes can be integrated into a system using this infrastructure.
