This paper describes last improvements made on ALZ-MAS; an Ambient Intelligence based multi-agent system aimed at enhancing the assistance and health care for Alzheimer patients. The system makes use of several context-aware technologies that allow it to automatically obtain information from users and the environment in an evenly distributed way, focusing on the characteristics of ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, mobility, etc., all of which are concepts defined by Ambient Intelligence. Among these context-aware technologies we have Wireless Sensor Networks. In this sense, ALZ-MAS is currently being improved by the use of a new platform of ZigBee devices that provides the system with new telemonitoring and locating engines.

Middleware Technology

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) provide a new paradigm for sensing and disseminating information from various environments, with the potential to serve many and diverse applications. In this chapter, we report the latest trends in WSN research, focusing on middleware technology and related areas, and including application design principles. We give an overview of WSNs and design aspects of applications, including existing research prototypes and industry applications. We describe the technology supporting these sensor applications from the view of system architecture and network communication. We then highlight outstanding issues and conclude with future perspectives on middleware technology.
