Future ambient intelligence environments will embed powerful multi-core processors to compose various functionalities into a smaller number of hardware components. This makes the maintainability of intelligent environments better because it is not easy to manage massively distributed processors.
A composition kernel makes it possible to compose multiple functionalities on a multi-core processor with the minimum modification of OS kernels and applications. A multi-core processor is a good candidate to compose various software developed independently for dedicated processors into one multi-core processor to reduce both the hardware and development cost. In this paper, we present SPUMONE which is a composition kernel for developing future smart products.
