Software configuration management framework for networked services environments and architectures incorporating ambient intelligence features

Project Highlights

• FP6 WorkProgram Objective: Software and Services
• EU funding: € 2,693,000
• Estimated costs: € 4,891,594
• Project web site: http://www.ist-comanche.eu/

Project Goals

• Develop and validate a generic framework for Software Configuration Management (SCM), which will pave the way to the realization of technically and commercially viable private spaces incorporating ambient intelligence features
• Simplify the approach towards home automation, allowing to easily install new services and applications on household appliances, game consoles and set-top-boxes.

CEFRIEL Contribution

• To develop prototypes that integrate home automation services
• To develop an innovative solution for allowing users to choose a new service or application to be installed on one or more home devices and to configure it automatically, regardless the communication type, the device type and vendor
