The paper describes the use of interoperability standards and interoperability frameworks in a smart / sensor home project. During the EU funded project MPOWER an open middleware platform will be developed which should speed up the task of developing and deploying services for persons with cognitive disabilities and elderly. The developed middleware has different interfaces where interoperability standards are required. The paper points out these requirements and presents solutions in the different layers of the Service-Oriented Architecture approach. In future, standards and defined interfaces are more and more needed because of the need for a secure and easy data and messaging transfer. The middleware will be developed non-proprietary and is open for different applications and sensor integration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
