Abstract
Conference Title: 2015 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo Workshops (ICMEW) Conference Start Date: 2015, June 29 Conference End Date: 2015, July 3 Conference Location: Turin, Italy Messaging is an important aspect in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). A lot of messages get exchanged between different sensing and processing units for alert and response purposes. These messages change in format, type, and size when being exchanged. Along this way, it becomes important to decide what messages to transfer and how to transfer. This paper specifically studies the suitability of safety-enabled RESTful messages for AAL communication from various message transfer perspectives and proposes a general framework of alert-response in AAL environment addressing various messaging requirements. Our experiment shows that the messaging approach is an efficient way for alert-response modeling and communication in AAL environment.
