Abstract
As Consumer Electronics devices get interconnected, the issue of aligning their data management solutions becomes prominent. If we want to deploy comprehensive applications that are perceived to be intelligent we need to integrate data management. Because this has to be done across multiple platforms and encompasses both legacy and future devices, we cannot get away with hard-coded data management functionality in each individual application. We need to add high-level data management functionality to the distributed middleware layer. Our peer-to-peer database management system, called AmbientDB, addresses this necessity by providing a global database abstraction layer over an ad-hoc network of heterogeneous peers. Such peers range from stationary media servers, via mobile AV jukeboxes to sensor networks. We will present the first steps of this integration process applied to real product types.
