Demo abstract: Teaching pervasing computing with an integrated environment

Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel learning environment that allows students to develop, execute, and test pervasive applications. This Java-based environment includes an execution platform built on top of Apache Felix OSGi and iPOJO, an Eclipse-based integrated environment, and a smart home simulator. Currently the environment challenges students to build five pervasive applications during the course. This system has been successfully tested by students enrolled in specially designed Masters courses.
