Abstract
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) pursues the issues of how information and communication technology (ICT) is used to support the quality of life (QoL) of the elderly and disabled people in smart home environment. Among the many AAL solutions, universAAL is one of the most open platforms that provides a holistic and standardized approach for an easy and economic development of AAL services. However, compatibility with smart home networking systems that are based on ECHONET standard is not supported. Therefore, this paper proposes a bridging in between the universAAL and the ECHONET standard and thereby enable the integration of new AAL services for ECHONET-based smart home automation systems
