"A distributed dynamic reconfigurable system for ambient intelligence"

The analysis of the problem of distribution of intelligence and a novel technique for dynamic task allocation and reconfiguration in a distributed system has been proposed. A formalization of task allocation problem was proposed and a system that was able to automatically download and run logical modules onto physical processors was described. A model was proposed to decompose logical surveillance functionalities into a set of modulues and to optimally allocate such modules among a set of physical processing units by minimizing a functional cost. The example of working system that provides a complete distributed computing environment infrastructure characterized by an highly scalable model, to handle data.
