Repository Overview

This is a quick reference guide for the most relevant wikis in our repositories and what they contain.

Repositories

• MIDDLEWARE: The modules that build up the core of the universAAL platform, divided in Container, Discovery & Peering, Communication and Data Representation.
• ONTOLOGY: A collection of all of universAAL's own "official" ontologies so far.
• CONTEXT: Context-awareness modules: a semantic data and history store, providers of user profiles and uSpace profiles, and one generic and one specific context reasoner.
• REMOTE: Connects in a multi-tenant way AAL Spaces through gateways; and with the world outside thorugh POST and REST APIs. Also defines keep-alive signals and support for remote deployment with Apache Ace.
• LDDI: Exporters that connect to different sensor and actuator technologies: KNX, ZigBee, ZWave, Eclipse SmartHome (OpenHAB2), FS20, Continua (limited support).
• SERVICE: Details on how service matchmaking works in universAAL middleware, and how it can be used to orchestrate services.
• UI: the User Interface Framework that allows defining custom application UI and custom renderers for it.

Developer Tools

• ECLIPSE TOOLS: List and instructions for the universAAL Developer Tools available in the AAL Studio plugin for Eclipse
• RUNTIME TOOLS: List and instructions for the universAAL Developer Tools available in to be run with the middleware

Other

• NATIVE ANDROID: A version of the middleware that runs as an Android app, with instructions on how to run it and develop apps for it.
• Main Repository: The platform repository holds the main project definitions (super POM), and every maven buildable repository as submodule, so the whole platform can be built from there.
• Samples and Applications, because we believe the best way of learning is doing, and the next best thing is seeing something done.
• The uAAL-specific Maven build tools (MAVEN)
• The simplified programming API (UITILITIES).
• Ready built run environments for universAAL IoT over OSGi, in Apache Karaf and Pax Runner flavours.
• Integration Tests suite to ensure universAAL is brought to you as bug free as we can (not always as we wish).
• Original UML description of different aspects of the architecture (both Reference Architecture and Concrete Architecture)
• The github pages repository (work in, very slow, progress).
