Integration of Pervasive Platforms with iCasa

Pervasive computing, as common in "Internet of Things" scenarios [1], promotes the integration of communication-enable devices in our living spaces to assist us in our activities. These pervasive devices can be blended within the environment, integrated into smartphones, everyday objects and appliances, or even woven into clothing. They may be mobile or static, take multiple forms, and pick up a wide variety of signals from the environment. Pervasive devices collect contextual information, run local computation, and, in some cases, directly act upon the environment. This allows the implementation of simple, reactive services like opening an emergency door when a triggering condition is detected. Pervasive devices are also enhanced with networking capabilities so that they can communicate with each other or with more powerful computing elements, located in close proximity (i.e., in the "fog" [2]), or in the cloud.
