Abstract

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) technologies are more and more often adopted in scenarios, like healthcare, environments monitoring and control, ambient assisted living, etc, which are critical for human safety and assets preservation. This requires that such a kind of applications be designed taking into account stringent dependability requirements. This paper presents a service-oriented middleware architecture for safety critical Ambient Intelligence applications, which provides services that enable the designer to develop runtime verification mechanisms; that is, it is possible to continuously monitor the verification of correctness properties defined at design time.
