Implementation of an AmI Communication Service using a Federated Event System Based on Aspects
Event-based communication can be considered naturally
suited to support Ambient Intelligence and Ubiquitous
Computing applications due to its asynchronous nature and
due to loose coupling between application components.
Event systems support different properties depending on the
specific problem domain for which they have been
developed. Using these event systems in a federated way,
where events are disseminated across the boundaries of a
single event system, has been possible in some areas.
However, such federation has typically been realized as
bilateral inter-working federation between designated pairs
of event systems that rely on hardcoded architectures, which
are inherently difficult to maintain when systems evolve over
time. This paper presents an Ambient Intelligence platform,
called AOPAMI, that uses aspects to enable truly
multilateral federation between inter-working heterogeneous
event systems. AOPAMI also solves the technology evolution
problem using the Aspect Oriented Software Development
paradigm
