 Ambient Assisted Living started as
an application focus of Ambient Intelligence vision
 Ambient Intelligence vision
 Utilize Internet of Things potential to create
smart human-centred environments that are
context-aware, adaptive and anticipatory
 AAL should build on top of this and support the development of
smart and independent living applications
 An AAL platform should help to
 Manage the IoT complexity in homes as an open distributed system of systems
 Help to utilize the cumulative potential of the sum total of capabilities
 Support the implementation of the Sensing-Reasoning-Acting pattern

 Benefits from
 semantic Web technologies for unified representation of data regardless of domain
and extraction technology, unified cross-domain query language, and externalizable
and sharable domain models
 an implementation of semantic interoperability for SoA at the level of
communication protocol (existing since 2008)
 Avoids domain-specific APIs by reducing syntactical dependencies to one single
brokerage API
Allows dynamic evolution of arbitrary constellations based on loose coupling
 Enables integration & Interoperability in a domain- and vendor independent way
 Future-proof contribution to managing complexity for the general IoT

 Yes, thinking in complementary terms in a globally networked world is a must
 Yes, there is need for finding consensus on “HTTP” and “HTML” of IoT
 Yes, openness towards cross-community cooperation is essential
 But, too expensive to go for platform-platform interoperability (n! pairs)
 Probably, the following would work better
 Intensify cross-community interactions at the level of technical details to achieve
thorough understanding of each other’s achievements
 Tackle the challenge of a possible roadmap for convergence and organize financial
support to realize the roadmap
