Living process detection in smart ambient environment for senior citizens

Ubiquitous services are designed to help senior citizens' daily lives. Living processes and middleware are the key enablers of ubiquitous services. In this paper a ubiquitous service system is established with detailed descriptions of its key components and their functions. Game engine is proposed as middleware for ubiquitous services. This paper discusses ubiquitous service system, living process detection, and middleware building in details. At the end of the paper conclusions are made and future research directions are outlined.
