DAISy Dynamic Ambient Intelligent Systems Unit

DAISy aims to design distributed intelligent hardware / software systems, which are seamlessly integrated into objects and their environment, and thus are intuitive to use.

These systems are in principle composed of heterogeneous and resource-constrained artefacts, which operate over unstable wireless networks.

DAISy conducts research on the disciplines related to its mission, designs and develops artefacts and implements ambient intelligence systems.

It applies a combination of component-based software engineering, knowledge representation, real-time systems design and design for acceptability techniques to meet the specific requirements of these systems, which arise mainly from the usually small size of the artefacts, the soft real-time performance requirements, and the need to avoid upsetting the task models of people.
