Abstract

This article is an overview of the system and architecture requirements of middleware for the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)-funded usability of music for social inclusion of children (UMSIC) project. The main objective of the UMSIC project is to use modern mobile technologies to increase social inclusion among children. In this article, the general architecture and the components of the UMSIC middleware are described and its relation to the requirements set by the scenarios is presented. In addition, the relation of the UMSIC project and PeerHood, an existing implementation of peer-to-peer communications and neighborhood concept, is described.
