Integrating Smart Spaces into the PErvasive Computing in Embedded Systems (PECES) Project

The increasing number of devices that are invisibly embedded into our surrounding environment as well as the proliferation of wireless communication and sensing technologies are the basis for visions like ambient intelligence, ubiquitous and pervasive computing. PErvasive Computing in Embedded Systems (PECES) project is committed to developing the technological basis to enable the global cooperation of embedded devices residing in different smart spaces in a context-dependent, secure and trustworthy manner. The PECES project provides a comprehensive software layer that consists of a flexible context ontology, a middleware that is capable of dynamically forming execution environments that are secure and trustworthy as well as a set of tools to facilitate application development.
