Programming Smart Object Federations for Simulating and Implementing Ambient Intelligence Scenarios

This paper leverages previous work on the concept of smart object federations and proposes a new dynamic programming language for implementing and simulating smart objects and their interactions. Following their description in the proposed programming language, smart objects can be fully simulated and used for describing ambient intelligence scenarios. In this context, the contributions of the paper are two-fold: (a) the introduction of a new programming language whose runtime semantics allows for a simple and effective description of smart objects, and (b) the description of meaningful interaction strategies, that are implemented in the proposed language, through which executable smart object federations can be used for simulating and implementing ambient intelligence scenarios.
