Report on the integration of heterogeneous devices and networks

The Deliverable is the output of Task 5.1, 5.3. The report describes the integration, in universAAL, of new heterogeneous nodes (distributed sensors, devices, multimodal interfaces, as well as the robot) that are possibly handled by different Operating Systems, programmed in different languages, and communicate on the network using different communication media. Also, the report describes how proper services are built in the application layer of universAAL in order to allow bridging between universAAL and ECHONET, used by CARESSES Japanese partners in their iHouse facility.
