Software Engineering Seminar:
Architectures of Assistive Systems

Assistive systems are a specialized type of information system: they (1) provide situational support for human behaviour (2) based on information from previously stored and real-time monitored structural context and behaviour data (3) at the time the person needs or asks for it. This seminar will give an insight into different variants of system architectures for such systems.

Subject: Architectures of Assistive Systems

This seminar will give an insight into different variants of system architectures for assistive systems. Clearly, the system architecture varies dependent on the application domain and its specific requirements. Students will get an overview of different types of system architectures, how to model such architectures, what requirements exist for architectures in different application domains as well as investigate reference architectures and needed components regarding specific requirements. The concrete application domain(s) can be chosen by the students.

For example, topics from the following application domains will be investigated:

  • Health Care (e.g. smart insulin pump)
  • Emergency Situations (e.g. apple watch detecting atrial fibrillation)
  • Production Processes (e.g. augmented reality glasses)
  • Personal Mobility (e.g. powered prostetic limbs)
  • Automotive (e.g. lane departure warning system)
  • Smart Homes and Personal Life (e.g. smart thermostat)

What you will learn:

  • What types of system architectures exist?
  • What requirements for system architectures of assistive systems exist?
  • How to model architectures?
  • What architectural patterns exist for assistive systems?
  • Which architectural patterns for an assistive system exist in a certain software/domain?
  • And clearly: To search for relevant literature, to write in a scientific style and to present your work to others

Preconditions:

  • Interest in system architectures and assistive systems
  • The ability to abstract
