WComp is a prototyping and dynamic execution environment for Ambient Intelligence applications. WComp is created by the Rainbow research team of the I3S laboratory, hosted by University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis and CNRS. It is an implementation of the Service Lightweight Component Architecture SLCA model. SLCA uses lightweight components to manage dynamic orchestrations of Web service for device, like UPnP or DPWS services, discovered in the software infrastructure.
The WComp Architecture is organised around what we call Containers and Designers:
WComp.NET is available on several platforms.
The SharpDevelop Addin (SharpWComp) is only available on Windows using .NET 3.5, but the WComp Container Console (without graphical designer) is also available on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X with the help of Mono (version >= 2.4.6).
WComp.NET is also available and usable on embedded platforms with ARM processor:
A release for Android is now available with the help of MonoDroid.
WComp.NET is designed to allow developers to easily create cross platform applications. WComp.NET is developed by Rainbow research team of Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis (Laboratoire I3S, UNS / CNRS). A growing family of tools are available now to help you to build Ambient Intelligence applications.
