註釋This chapter provides a review of some of the most important operational aspects of Ambient Intelligence as well as their bearing on the development of the software/hardware platforms that must support it. In this line, a series of issues that an architectonic approach to AmI software development should tackle have been identified and we have shown how the research community in general, and our laboratory, in particular, is dealing with them. Through the study and presentation of the HI3 architecture proposal and by relating it to other approaches found in the literature, the different solutions to the issues that arise and how they must be considered in the design and tool development phase have been visited. Some of these solutions have been taken to a high level of development through their use in other fields. This is the case of distributed operation technology, modularity and low level communication. Others are currently in an intermediate state, some good advances have been made, but much work is needed to fulfil requirements like ubiquity and full autonomous operation; this is case of technologies for issues such as security, mobility, fault tolerance or hardware access and configuration. Finally other areas are still in an early stage of development, some promising work has been carried out, but it is still isolated (not integrated) or assumes too many simplifications in order to deal with the problems. In this situation we find areas such as context-awareness, component self-organization and collaboration or natural human-computer interaction. As a consequence, it is easy to see that there is still much to do in this area and formal and structural approaches are still needed in order to achieve the operational degree that would be required of such a system operating in real life situations with humans. Obviously, it is a very interdisciplinary subject, that will require bringing together knowledge and technologies from very different fields, both technological and social, within a framework that really allows a systematic approach to the construction and adaptation of these structures without leading to a quagmire of ad hoc solutions or a complete deadlock as the systems scale. And it is also evident that to achieve this end powerful design and development tools and architectures will be a key issue.
