Overview

We build platforms for pervasive computing. A key idea is to support unplanned combination of services of different devices, and to configure such combinations without the need for detailed programming. To validate the ideas we build prototype applications and demonstrators within different application areas, for example health care.

Earlier projects where we have pursued these ideas include several VINNOVA-financed projects within the Network programming programme, and the EU IST project PalCom, where an open-source platform was developed.

Key publications and systems:

• The open source PalCom software toolbox, 2008.
• David Svensson Fors: Assemblies of pervasive services, PhD thesis, 2009.
• David Svensson Fors, Boris Magnusson, Sven Gestegård Robertz, Görel Hedin, and Emma Nilsson-Nyman: Ad-hoc composition of pervasive services in the PalCom architecture. ACM International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS 2009), London, July 2009.
