A Middleware Architecture for Personalized Communities of Devices

Abstract

This position paper outlines our vision for a world of user devices not continuously connected to the Internet. Our first concern is to ease the usage of these devices by adapting their services to the user with data from a local profile. Maintaining the privacy of these user data is a major requirement that impacts all the work we do around collecting and exploiting these data. A major problem is to ensure the visibility of these data in a volatile environment.
