Pervasive computing envisions environments where computers are blended into everyday objects in order to provide value-added services to people. This vision is set to become reality and is actually raising huge expectations from consumers and service providers alike. As a result, many smart devices and open platforms are now proposed and installed in our homes and workplaces.Unfortunately, because of a lack of standards as well as a lack of cooperation between providers, the deployment of innovative services in our living places is today rather anarchic. This results in highly heterogeneous and sometimes incoherent installations, leading to major issues in terms of service efficiency, software maintenance, and even aesthetics.The purpose of this project is therefore to define and develop architectures, models and algorithms enabling interoperability in pervasive environments. In this approach, an application developed on a given platform could use services provided by another platform. This goal is very challenging. Amongst other things, it requires platforms to build and maintain knowledge about themselves, about the environment, and about the capabilities of other platforms. It also demands abilities to conduct interactions with others in order to build shared contextual information and to find out if remote services can be actually used. Finally, it calls for a development framework including these facilities and facilitating programming activities.Finally, it is to be noted that interoperability features must be achieved in an autonomic way. A major constraint in pervasive environments is that there is usually no local administrator. Most management operations must be undergone by the system itself.The project will be based on two major open platforms, PCOM from the University of Mannheim and iPojo/iCasa from Grenoble University. These two successful platforms, heavily used and cited in academia and industry, already present advanced features required to conduct this project. They are dynamic, autonomic and able to integrate heterogeneous devices and applications. More research effort is however necessary to reach interoperability as envisioned in this project. Besides a literature review on interaction in Pervasive Computing, PCOM and iPojo will be used as concrete platforms for our research. We will explore interaction protocols and context models that enable interoperability in Pervasive Computing and implement these in an architecture bridging PCOM and iPojo/iCasa.The relevance of the project outputs will be assessed on applications pertaining to the health domain. Providing services enhancing the potential of the elderly and patients to live and cope at home is today a major challenge, both in economical and societal terms. Healthcare costs are booming and the aging of the population only reinforces this trend. In this context, advances in interoperable pervasive computing are very encouraging and exciting.

普遍的计算设想环境，将计算机混合到日常对象中，以便为人们提供增值服务。这种愿景将成为现实，实际上正在提高消费者和服务提供商的巨大期望。结果，现在许多智能设备和开放式平台都在我们的房屋和工作场所提议和安装。这会导致高度异质，有时甚至不连贯的装置，从而导致服务效率，软件维护甚至美学方面的重大问题。在这种方法中，在给定平台上开发的应用程序可以使用另一个平台提供的服务。这个目标非常具有挑战性。除其他事项外，它需要平台来建立和维护有关自己，环境以及其他平台功能的知识。它还要求能力与他人进行互动，以构建共享的上下文信息，并找出是否可以真正使用远程服务。最后，它要求开发框架，包括这些设施并促进编程活动。在本文中，要注意的是，必须以自主性方式实现互操作性功能。普遍环境中的主要限制是通常没有本地管理员。该系统本身必须进行大多数管理操作。该项目将基于两个主要的开放平台，即Mannheim大学的PCOM和Grenoble University的IPOJO/ICASA。这两个成功的平台在学术界和行业中大量使用和引用，已经提供了进行此项目所需的高级功能。它们是动态的，自主的，并且能够整合异质的设备和应用。但是，如本项目所设想的那样，需要更多的研究工作才能达到互操作性。除了对普遍计算中相互作用的文献综述，PCOM和IPOJO还将用作我们研究的具体平台。我们将探索互动协议和上下文模型，以使其在普遍计算中互操作性，并在架构桥接PCOM和IPOJO/ICASA中实施这些模型。项目输出的相关性将对与健康领域有关的应用进行评估。在经济和社会上，提供服务增强老年人和患者在家中生活和应对的潜力的服务是一个重大挑战。医疗保健成本正在蓬勃发展，人口老龄化只会加强这一趋势。在这种情况下，可互操作的普遍计算的进步非常令人鼓舞和令人兴奋。
