Introduction
The ARLES project-team investigates solutions in the forms of languages, methods, tools and supporting middleware to assist the development of distributed software systems, with a special emphasis on mobile distributed systems enabling the ambient intelligence/pervasive computing vision. Our research activities in 2012 have focused on the following areas:
Dynamic interoperability among networked systems toward making them eternal, by way of on-the-fly generation of connectors based on adequate system models (§ 6.2 );
Pervasive service-oriented software engineering, focusing on supporting service composition in an increasingly heterogeneous and dynamic networking environment, while enforcing quality of service (§ 6.3 );
Service oriented middleware for the ultra large scale future Internet of Things (§ 6.4 );
Abstractions for enabling domain experts to easily compose applications on the Internet of Things (§ 6.5 ); and
The use of Requirement Engineering techniques for enabling systems to be self-adaptive under uncertainty (§ 6.6 ).
