Developing User-Centric Applications with H-Omega

The recent proliferation of ever smaller and smarter electronic devices, combined with the introduction of wireless communication and mobile software technologies enables the construction of a large variety of pervasive applications. The inherent complexity of such applications along with their nonexpert clientele raises the necessity of building middleware solutions. This paper proposes to use the H-Omega application server to build user-centric applications. H-Omega relies on a service oriented component platform, iPOJO, and provides useful technical services for pervasive applications. This paper presents how to easily develop user-centric applications on the top of the H-Omega platform.
