<h4 id="ExploringQeoConcepts-AboutQeo">About Qeo</h4><p>Qeo is two things at once:</p><ul><li class="BulletedList1">A cross-platform, multi-language communication middleware based on the data-centric publish/subscribe paradigm.</li><li class="BulletedList1">A set of standardized abstractions that formally describe how many real-world concepts are represented.</li></ul><p>The communication middleware can be considered as a transport mechanism, ensuring interoperability at the transport level. The standardized abstractions make sure all Qeo-enabled devices and applications describe the same concepts (user, device, temperature, video recordings, ...) in the same way, ensuring interoperability at the semantic level.</p><p>Without the standardized abstractions, Qeo would still be a powerful framework for the creation of one-off distributed applications. The standardized abstractions add a dimension of openness and vendor/device neutrality that elevates Qeo from a communication library to a true ecosystem.</p><h4 class="BlockLabel" id="ExploringQeoConcepts-InThisChapter">In This Chapter</h4><p>This chapter covers the following Qeo concepts: </p><p><ul class='childpages-macro'><li><a href="Data-Centric-Publish-Subscribe_21676001.html">Data-Centric Publish-Subscribe</a></li><li><a href="Types-of-Behavior_21675998.html">Types of Behavior</a></li><li><a href="Interaction-Patterns_21676002.html">Interaction Patterns</a></li><li><a href="The-Perimeter-of-Qeo-Interaction_21675999.html">The Perimeter of Qeo Interaction</a></li><li><a href="Privacy-and-Security_21676000.html">Privacy and Security</a></li></ul></p><p> </p>
