Abstract

This work presents a lightweight inference system deployed in a Service Oriented Architecture for e-Health. Modules of an Ambient Assisted Living platform are presented and how to add Context Awareness to this platform is explained. An example of a complete workflow is presented in a real-case scenario.

Supported by projects AmIVital (CENIT2007-1010), EvOrq (TIC-3903) and FPU grant AP2009-2942.
