This chapter deals with interoperability among pervasive networked systems, in particular
accounting for the heterogeneity of protocols from the application down to the middleware …

Context Context-aware software systems can interact with different devices to complete their
tasks and act according to the context, regardless of their development and organizational …

Interoperability remains a challenging and growing problem within distributed systems. A
range of heterogeneous network and middleware protocols which cannot interact with one …

Context In contrast to traditional software systems that are mostly created from scratch,
current software systems are engineered as a junction of systems already in operation …

Abstract Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing, and the Internet of Things, promote dynamic
interaction among heterogeneous systems. To achieve this vision, interoperability among …

Future software systems will be highly dynamic. We are already experiencing, for example, a
world where Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) play a more and more crucial role. CPSs …

Systems-of-Systems (SoS) refer to alliances of operational and managerial independent
software-intensive systems, sometimes distributed and found in critical application domains …

A key objective for ubiquitous environments is to enable system interoperability between
system's components that are highly heterogeneous. In particular, the challenge is to embed …

On the fly synthesis of mediators is a revolutionary approach to the seamless networking of
today's and future digital systems that increasingly need be connected. The resulting …

The heterogeneity characterizing the systems populating the Ubiquitous Computing
environment prevents their seamless interoperability. Heterogeneous protocols may be …
