AppsGate

Functional Description

The AppsGate architecture is based on the HMI Middleware developed in cooperation with the IIHM and Adele groups of the UMR Laboratoire Informatique de Grenoble (LIG). The HMI Middleware is designed to facilitate the development of end-user applications on top of the core software components described in the sections above, while ensuring service continuity and usability. The key features of the HMI Middleware include:

Integration of sensors and actuators managed by a variety of protocols, and provision of a uniform abstraction for these devices as component-oriented-services,

Integration of Web services made available on the cloud by a variety of web service providers, and provision of a uniform abstraction for these services as component-oriented-services,

Communication between the HMI middleware and client applications - typically, user interfaces for controlling and programming the smart home, that run on high-end devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs.
