ISMED - Intelligent Semantic Middleware for Embedded Devices

Duration: 2007-2010
Funding: Departamento de Educación, Universidades e Investigación, Gobierno Vasco, Programa Investigación Básica y Aplicada
Project Manager: Dr. Diego López de Ipiña
Consortium members: Universidad de Deusto and Mondragon Unibertsitatea

The ISMED project main objective is to provide the infrastructure that facilitates the development and deployment of intelligent cooperative environments equipped by an "ecosystem of embedded devices". This is, the intelligent cooperation among embedded devices equipped with wireless communication capabilities but low computational features to conform more intelligent, useful and assistive working or living environments.

The specific objectives of this project are:

Add intelligence through sensing, reasoning and learning to the embedded devices that surround us in the environments we are at during our daily activities.
Allow the discovery and cooperation (choreography) of the services offered by those diverse devices to define new composed logical services which concatenate and coordinate the functionality of individual devices.
Create a middleware platform easily integrated into conventional embedded devices which adds intelligent cooperative capabilities to them.
