VHE Middleware

The goal of the ITEA project Middleware for Virtual Home Environment consists of the design, development and validation of a software infra-structure composed of cooperating services (e.g., middleware) for the residential/domestic domain. This is done by particularly considering of the mobility users and their respective(thus also mobile) devices (e.g., cell phone, palm/pocket computers, PDAs, laptops,...). The project approaches this by advancing the required technologies in the domain of user-interfaces, security and integration of communication protocols (GMS, Powerline, IrDA, IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth).
