The significance that Ambient Intelligence (AmI) has acquired in recent years requires the development of innovative solutions. In this sense, the development of AmI-based systems requires the creation of increasingly complex and flexible applications. The use of context-aware technologies is an essential aspect in these developments in order to perceive stimuli from the context and react upon it autonomously. This paper presents SYLPH, a novel platform that defines a method for integrating dynamic and self-adaptable heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). This approach facilitates the inclusion of context-aware capabilities when developing intelligent ubiquitous systems, where functionalities can communicate in a distributed way. A WSN infrastructure has been deployed for testing and evaluating this platform. Preliminary results and conclusions are presented in this paper.

<p>One of the most dominant philosophies within programming disciplines is the philosophy of layered systems. In a layered system (or hierarchical system) the layers are thought of as each implementing an abstract machine on top of the lower layers. Such an abstract machine in turn implements utilities (e.g. data-structures and operations) to be used at higher layers.</p><p>This paper will focus on exception handling in block-structured systems (as a special case of layered systems). It will be argued that none of the existing programming language proposals for exception handling support secure and well-behaved termination of activities in a block-structured system. Moreover, it is argued that certain termination strategies within block-structured systems cannot be implemented using the existing proposals. As a result of this discussion and as a solution to the problems, a hierarchical, co-operative exception handling mechanism is proposed.</p>
