The LDDI group aims at defining an abstraction layer that is able to represent and to facilitate the integration of sensors and actuators embedded in uSpaces. The term of sensor does not refer to electronic devices that measure a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument, neither the term actuator is used to represent mechanical device that transforms energy for moving or controlling a mechanism. Rather, we refer to sensors and actuators as devices with some computational and communication capabilities, namely sensor nodes. Sensor nodes usually may group several sensors and actuators on the same board, however sensor nodes have still limited resources and generally they are not able to use all the protocol stack foreseen by a fully featured component or service of an AAL platform.
