An Ambient Assisted-Living Architecture Based on Wireless Sensor Networks

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 51))

Abstract

Ambient Assisted-Living (AAL) is becoming an important research field in Ambient Intelligence. Many technologies have emerged related with pervasive computing vision, that can give support for AAL. One of the most reliable approaches is based on wireless sensor networks (WSN). Based on this basic assumption we have taken the promising SunSPOT platform as base support, and build upon it a services architecture for our AAL proposal. This architectural model allows us the decoupling of applications in components such as ECG’s monitor, position system or location awareness.
