Fault Tolerance Issues in Non-Traditional Grids Implemented with Intelligent Agents

Abstract

The scope of this paper is to present the necessity to improve the existent ambient intelligence model with respect to data security. The security of such a model poses a great challenge due to the fact that different networks are mixing in order to provide such an environment. In addition, these networks are generally deployed and then left unattended. All these aspects joined together make it unfeasible to directly apply the traditional security mechanisms. Therefore, there is a need to analyze and better understand the security requirements of these networks. This paper provides the specific security attacks to such a model and supplies a solution for these attacks.

Ambient Assisted Living Technologies, Systems and Services: A Systematic Literature Review

“… Physical devices -the hardware components required for the implementation of an AAL system, including networks of sensors and actuators required to collect and disseminate a range of environmental data [12];  Context awareness -technologies and methodologies to abstract and model the situation of a person, place or object considered relevant to the interaction between a user and a system [13];  User interaction -technologies and methodologies that enhance the effectiveness and usability of a system and its interfaces [14];  Privacy and security -privacy and security challenges imposed by the AAL implementation [15,16];  Systems -practical AAL systems applied in a specified context and with a well defined aim [17];  Conceptual articles -innovative concepts related to the AAL or that may contribute to its development.…”
