Architectural implications for context adaptive smart spaces
Buildings and spaces are complex entities containing complex social structures and interactions. A smart space is a composite of the users that inhabit it, the IT infrastructure that supports it, and the sensors and appliances that service it. Rather than separating the IT from the buildings and from the appliances that inhabit them and treating them as separate systems, pervasive computing combines them and allows them to interact. We outline a reactive context architecture that supports this vision of integrated smart spaces and explore some implications for building large-scale pervasive systems
Domain Objects and Microservices for Systems Development: a roadmap
This paper discusses a roadmap to investigate Domain Objects being an
adequate formalism to capture the peculiarity of microservice architecture, and
to support Software development since the early stages. It provides a survey of
both Microservices and Domain Objects, and it discusses plans and reflections
on how to investigate whether a modeling approach suited to adaptable
service-based components can also be applied with success to the microservice
scenario
Federated Embedded Systems – a review of the literature in related fields
This report is concerned with the vision of smart interconnected objects, a vision that has attracted much attention lately. In this paper, embedded, interconnected, open, and heterogeneous control systems are in focus, formally referred to as Federated Embedded Systems. To place FES into a context, a review of some related research directions is presented. This review includes such concepts as systems of systems, cyber-physical systems, ubiquitous
computing, internet of things, and multi-agent systems. Interestingly, the reviewed fields seem to overlap with each other in an increasing number of ways
