Full version of ambient assisted architecture specification

This report is the deliverable specifying a reference-architecture for AAL spaces. To motivate the proposed architecture, we first summarize the intermediate results along the way covered within the first year of the project towards this specification. Then we introduce a physical and a logical architecture for AAL spaces at an abstract level and explain the basic ideas and concepts within it. The abstract physical architecture treats an AAL space as a dynamic ensemble of networked nodes and the logical architecture abstracts all functionality not leading to context, input, or output events (or the direct processing of such events) as service. Hence, the proposed architecture is service oriented.
