Abstract

The exploitation of modern sensing technologies constitutes an essential issue when targeting to context-aware applications in mobile environments. However, most of the existing solutions (commercial products, research pilots) assume proprietary sensor platforms, thus restricting the deployment of these applications only to computing nodes that are compatible with these platforms. This paper discusses how this topic is addressed in the context of the EU ICT project IPAC. The architecture and design of the proposed sensor framework exhibit a significant degree of portability across different platforms as they are based on the IEEE 1451 family of standards.
