Hi guys,
I also have my colloquium the day before Bram, i.e. tomorrow. It's not related to the nosql, that's true.
However, may be you have spare time tomorrow and are interested a little bit in concurrency for distributed systems.
In this case,
Afstudeercolloquium

Concurrent execution of automatically generated plans in Smart Homes environment
An application area where heterogeneity is a norm, is that of pervasive systems, where thousands of autonomous heterogeneous devices live together and
need to interoperate. In particular, domotics is concerned with technology that pervades the home in order to make it more pro-active and aware with the final
goal of increasing security and comfort of its inhabitants.
This thesis focuses on Smart Homes, that is, homes that contain heterogeneous interactive and pro-active devices, that adapt their behavior to the needs of the
home inhabitant through extensive interoperation and user interaction. For example, a movie may be automatically paused when the user leaves the room, and
then launched again when s/he is back; windows are automatically opened to regulate the air condition or as a reaction to gas leak, and so on. One of the
greatest challenges in developing middleware for smart homes is that this kind of systems are in need for the orchestration of the heterogeneous services within complex environment. Therefore, a special orchestration engine is needed to be implemented in order to provide efficient concurrent execution of complex scenarios. For every scenario from different users a special plan is generated automatically. These plans should be executed concurrently in the most efficient way.
The thesis is dedicated to the implementation of the orchestration engine capable of controlling concurrent execution of automatically generated plans for complex scenarios within Smart Homes and discusses the advantages of the chosen approach.
Kind regards,
Elena.
