In order for service providers to provide their users high quality services in the home network, Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning is needed to protect premium services. In this paper, we describe how a Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) based home network architecture solves this problem in a heterogeneous home network. We outline how it both relieves the end user from troublesome configuration and...
Nowadays, users consume a lot of functionality in their home coming from a service provider located in the Internet. While the home network is typically shielded off as much as possible from the `outside world', the supplied services could be greatly extended if it was possible to use local information. In this article, an extended service is presented that integrates the user's multimedia content,...
To relieve the end user of the configuration burden that arises when new devices are installed in the (home) network, service discovery protocols (SDP) have been devised. These enable automatic discovery of the services these devices offer. Yet, the existing SDPs are not compatible or interoperable. In this paper, we propose a framework that automatically translates between the various SDPs. We also...
We present the design, implementation and performance analysis of a multimedia management system for home environments. It enables comprehensive access and control of media that is distributed over multiple devices. Based on automatic discovery of the media servers and renderers(i.e. audio or display devices) through UPnP, our application integrates all content in a single view (merging content and/or...
