Assessing the openness of universAAL IoT

In an earlier blog, the six criteria for the openness of software platforms were introduced. This post looks at the positioning of universAAL IoT in relation to these criteria, namely open API, open scope, open source, open provision, open operation and open adaptability....

A new technical overview of universAAL IoT published

universAAL IoT is used in at least three of the nine deployment sites of the H2020 IoT large-scale pilot ACTIVAGE that aim at deploying different smart living solutions, involving in total ca. 10,000 users and 50,000 IoT components. As one of the five different open platforms used in the nine deployment sites of ACTIVAGE, a new short technical overview of universAAL IoT was created within this project that is worth to be shared here for those who are interested in getting quick insights into th...

Good questions, some answers...

Programming with universAAL

universAAL is a software platform for the integration of open distributed systems of systems. It provides runtime support for distributed service-oriented environments in which components can provide and consume services by sharing compatible models (ontologies). Communication participants do not need to access each other and hence do not need to know the addresses of the other participants. Therefore, they do not need to know if the other participants run in the same runtime environment loc...
