RT Journal Article T1 Using SPL to Develop AAL Systems Based on Self-adaptive Agents A1 Amor-Pinilla, María Mercedes A1 Ayala-Viñas, Inmaculada A1 Fuentes-Fernández, Lidia K1 Internet AB Abstract One of the most important challenges of this decade is the Internet ofThings (IoT) that pursues the integration of real-world objects in Internet. One ofthe key areas of the IoT is the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems, whichshould be able to react to variable and continuous changes while ensuring theiracceptance and adoption by users. This means that AAL systems need to work asself-adaptive systems. The autonomy property inherent to software agents, makesthem a suitable choice for developing self-adaptive systems. However, agents lackthe mechanisms to deal with the variability present in the IoT domain with regardto devices and network technologies. To overcome this limitation we have alreadyproposed a Software Product Line (SPL) process for the development of self-adaptiveagents in the IoT. Here we analyze the challenges that poses the development ofself-adaptive AAL systems based on agents. To do so, we focus on the domainand application engineering of the self-adaptation concern of our SPL process. Inaddition, we provide a validation of our development process for AAL systems.
