SAMURAI: A batch and streaming context architecture for large-scale intelligent applications and environments

Over the past decade intelligent environments have grown in sophistication. Many recent paradigm shifts − such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), e-health and telemedicine − envision large distributed networks of intelligent devices, applications and services that are sensitive to the presence of people and responsive to their needs. Cutting edge technologies will autonomously and collectively operate on a growing volume of information arriving at ever increasing velocities to transparently and non-intrusively support users during their activities. Especially the escalating variety of information that applications have to deal with is a non-trivial concern. Making sense out of heterogeneous and pervasive streams of sensor events to anticipate and address the needs of users is a ubiquitous challenge that many interactive context-aware applications in intelligent environments frequently face. Furthermore, software solutions that continuously interpret the...
