Reliable Platform for Enhanced Living Environment

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present an idea of the platform for enhanced living environment that will allow flexible and reliable use of cloud computing and sensor networks for highly customized services and applications. The architecture is based on sensors using IEEE 802.15.4 and zigbee protocols. Furthermore, the access to the cloud could be done by any available wired or wireless technology. We propose an application layer service using peer port for reliable and scalable data transmission. The presented solution is dynamic, flexible and conforms to the health and home automation standards.
