EPIKOUROS is an innovative project where methodologies and tools will be developed for designing, building and deploying Internet-of-Things applications on Virtual Environments. EPIKOUROS main goal is to design and develop a virtualized middleware platform that would allow easily creating and structuring environments. In turn, it would allow the collection, management and integration of information generated by multiple sensors and sensor-networks, as well as the management of business process procedures that are supported by the sensors' infrastructure. The project will use as proof-of-concept scenarios from independent living, intelligent/multimodal transport and building management.

In this paper we present a novel Building Management System (BMS) that is based on advanced pattern matching algorithms and is utilizing a cloud-based Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to offer a number of rich personalized applications for Ambient Living. The novelty presented in this paper is deriving from the evolution of a proprietary BMS product, namely Ecosystem, which is enhanced with the features presented in this paper, to address high demand for personalization and service adaptation in the new era of Information and Communication Technologies.
