We propose three good properties that an activity monitoring platform should have to enable its reusability for different applications and to insure performance quality 1 modularity and flexibility of the architecture 2 separation between the algorithms and the a priori knowledge they use and 3 automatic evaluation of algorithm results. We then propose a development methodology to fulfill the last two properties. The methodology consists in the interaction between end-users and developers during the whole development of a specific monitoring system. To validate our approach we present a platform used to generate activity monitoring systems dedicated to specific applications we also describe in details the technical validation and the end-user assessment of an automatic metro monitoring system built with the platform and briefly the validation results for bank agency monitoring and building access control.
