Hydra Middleware for Developing Pervasive Systems: a Case Study in the eHealth Domain 1.0
Jahn, M., Pramudianto, F. and Al-Akkad, A., Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology, Germany.
In this paper we present from a developer’s point of view lessons learned from building an ambient e-health system using Hydra middleware. Hydra provide a middleware framework that facilitates developers to build efficiently scalable, embedded systems while offering web service interfaces for controlling any type of physical devices. It comprises a set of sophisticated components taking care of security, device and service discovery using an overlay P2P communication network.
This paper was presented at the 1st International Workshop on Distributed Computing in Ambient Environments (DiComAe 2009), Paderborn, Germany, 15-18 September 2009.
