Abstract

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks are an important application domain of ubiquitous computing and Wireless Sensor Networks are a key technology for enabling such applications. The development of ubiquitous applications poses challenges as dealing with the low-level programming abstractions and the heterogeneity of hardware and software. Middleware facilitates application development by hiding the heterogeneity and complexity of the underlying hardware and software. We argue that a single middleware is not able to meet the heterogeneity of ubiquitous systems, and propose a Software Product Line approach to design a middleware family. The family is customized according to constraints imposed by three viewpoints: device, network and application. We customize the family considering the variability of the VANETs domain.
