Abstract :
In our I-SENSE project we demonstrate the combination the scientific research areas multi-sensor data fusion and pervasive embedded computing. The main idea is to provide a generic architecture which supports a distributed data fusion on an embedded system. Due to the high onboard processing and communication power of the used hardware, our proposed architecture is designed to perform sophisticated data fusion tasks. Another goal of I-SENSE research project addresses the reconfiguration of a distributed system at runtime, thus, to be able to react to changes in the system´s environment dynamically. This paper though gives an overlook of our developed middleware which eases the development of distributed fusion applications on embedded systems and which includes reconfiguration facilities. We further present some experimental results obtained using our middleware and give an outlook of our ongoing research.
