User:Litvina/OSAMI-D

The research project OSAMI-D is the german subproject of the european ITEA 2 project OSAMI (Open Source AMbient Intelligence).
The aim of the international project OSAMI is the design of a basic, widely applicable SOA-capable component platform, its development, test and its provision under the open source licence model. The project consists of a number of national subprojects, each focussing on a certain field of application. The german subproject OSAMI-D, funded by the BMBF (reference number 01IS 08003), contributes to the eHealth domain. The main objectives are interoperability, maintainability, reliability, as well as automated configuration and management of medical devices and services to provide new forms of healthcare to diseased and convalescent people. The advantages of these technical contributions will be demonstrated by means of an eHealth application which supports ambulant cardiological rehabilitation.

The software component platform from the OSGi Alliance forms the technical basis of the OSAMI platform. It provides lifecycle management for software components as well as local service interactions as defined in service-oriented architectures and will be combined with the Web Services approach, in particular DPWS / WS4D in order to implement distributed, dynamically configurable, vendor-neutral and device-independent solutions.

Support programme: BMBF IKT2020

Duration: 01.07.2008 bis 30.06.2011

The superior goal of OSAMI is to connect technologically vertical markets on the basis of open source components and so to facilitate the market entry for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME).

1. Establishment of the interoperability of medical devices' ensemble
2. Establishment of the interoperability of medical devices and services for the integrated healthcare in service oriented environments
3. Policy based configuration and management of adaptive OSAMI-based service systems
4. Infrastructure for intelligent management and service concepts in OSAMI-based systems

• WP 1: Coordination and Dissemination
• WP 2: Business, Trust and Processes (without participation of german subproject)
• WP 3: Organisation, Tools and Training (without participation of german subproject)
• WP 4: Vertical Domains - Analysis and Design
  The aim of the WP 4 of the german subproject is the requirements analysis particularly for the use of the OSAMI-based services and systems in the application domain "IT in Healthcare" and design of the domain specific components for the OSAMI architecture. The intra-domain "horizontal" architecture design and the actual software implementation takes place in the WP 5.
• WP 5: OSAMI Interface & Architecture
  The WP 5 concentrates on the definining the intra-domain OSAMI architecture considering SOA-principles for distributed, device-based systems and their realization under the Open Source licence model. The architecture is the basis of the implementation of the in the WP 4 specified components for the healthcare domain. Complementary proprietary components and the policy-based management system are produced (ref. e.g. WS-Policy).
• WP 6: Security, asstets and user interface issues
  The data security, easy integration and management of the external components as well as multimodal and plainly defined user interfaces are important for the acceptance and wide applicability of OSAMI applications. These features set the stage for the proceccing sensitive data and reduce the barriers for the deployment.
  The german subproject focuses on the data security for eHealth applications. These applications handle with sensitive, personal data and thus must be reliable. Thherefore there are distinct data security requirements, which are to be considered representatively for the requirements for the more sophisticated general applications.
• WP 7: Demonstrators
  In the WP 7 the components of the eHealth demonstrator on the basis of the OSAMI architecture and the results of the WP 4 - 6 are to be integrated. The integrated hard- and software components are to be well tried and proven in a realistic scenario. The eavlution covers the acceptance of the new technics by the end user in addition to the technical requirements.
  The development and the validation of the demonstrator occurs in three successive phases. The first phase is intended for the implemenatation of a so called „Mock-up“ with a initial design of the user interface and primary implemenation of the corresponding hardware and software components. These form among other things the fundamendals for the following phases of the WP.
