 Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems

The RUNES project has a vision to enable the creation of large-scale,
widely distributed, heterogeneous networked embedded systems that interoperate
and adapt to their environments. The inherent complexity of such systems must
be simplified for programmers if the full potential for networked embedded
systems is to be realised. The widespread use of network embedded systems
requires a standardised architecture that allows self-organisation to suit
a changeable environment. RUNES aims to provide an adaptive middleware
platform and application development tools that allow programmers the
flexibility to interact with the environment where necessary, whilst
affording a level of abstraction that facilitates ease of application
construction and use. This will allow for a dramatic cut in the cost
of new application development and a much faster time to market. The
project will also examine the potential uses and implications of the
technology, develop demonstrator systems and design training courses
to aid in dissemination of RUNES technology.
