Abstract
The integration of a set of heterogeneous data streams coming from different source into a coherent scheme is still one of the key challenges in designing the new generation of AAL system enabling the Smart Home. This paper introduces a service-oriented platform that aims to enhance data integration and synchronization between physical and virtual components of an AAL system. The idea behind this research work goes in the direction to find scalable technological solution in order to answer the continued growth of objects (Things) connected to the network within the domestic environment. Thus, the Smart Objects can operate synergistically on the basis of a shared semantic model, supporting various tailored services that assist elderly users or users with disabilities for a better and healthier life in their preferred living environment. Moreover, a prototype of the platform has been implemented and validated in order to prove the correctness of the approach and conduct a preliminary performance evaluation.
