Abstract
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services are designed to cover the specific needs of elderly people. In a Smart Home environment many people can coexist requiring a continuous adjustment of the smart home services to their needs. The present work proposes a mechanism for the definition of self-adaptive AAL services that can dynamically reconfigure the Smart Home infrastructure without human intervention to fulfill the user requirements. Adaptation requirements are expressed in a declarative manner and AAL services are configured according to them. An OSGi-based infrastructure has been used to validate that the proposal can be applied in practice for an AAL context.
This work has been developed with the support of MEC under the project SESAMO TIN2007-62894 and cofinanced by FEDER.
