An Adaptation Middleware Supporting Continuous Adaptation of End User Driven Application Composition Framework

Abstract

The usage of IOT devices in our daily life is increasing at a good rate. By IOT here it means the sensor and actuators that we use to satisfy our needs. But when we think by the perspective of a user we always want things in our own ways. Where everything will be flexible like if we want to add or remove certain service we need to have the capability to do so. Precisely if a user wants to add a new sensor without having programming knowledge, he or she cannot do that because most of the services that different organizations provide are not configurable. Yet as a user we cannot to that because there are some complexities when we say configurable services. Researchers are trying to provide user these sorts of configurable services, yet we are not able to provide these sort of services right now. So, this is a huge scope or place to work on because whenever a problem arises there is a solution for it and we need to find it and utilize that solution at its best. The past researchers of “Ambient Intelligence Lab” proposed an architecture where the end-user can plug sensors and actuators without the help of professionals. They also provide the examples to emphasize that the architecture works properly or the way it should have worked. But they had some lacking too. One of them was having no adaptive environment. By adaptive environment we meant that our system should listen to the different context of different services that user use to fulfill his/her requirements. An Adaptation Engine with the help of some additional components it provides the user an ultimate flexibility where the end user just provides his/her queries by using service composition and our system will always listen to the different contexts of those services which leads our system as a continuous adaptation system.
