Industrialised societies are increasingly dependent on embedded systems that are getting more and more complex, dynamic, open, while interacting with a progressively more demanding and heterogeneous environment. To manage efficiently the life cycle of applications deployed in such devices, some frameworks like OSGi have emerged. Such frameworks enable flexible applications deployment but in the absence...
This paper presents a high-level overview of the CareNet Home Extension Project that aims to provide support for home-based healthcare for the elderly and outpatients. Details of a home networking environment based on a virtualized Residential Gateway (RG) are provided. The RG architecture is modular and scalable supporting the dynamic provision of third party services. This accommodates multiple...
Home Security Systems have existed for many years. There are security devices such as digital cameras or sensors deployed in the home or office. We present an OSGi based security architecture for a home security system. This system consists of Service Location Protocol (SLP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) to achieve automated services, device discovery...
We've long heard about the wide functionality that home automation technologies offer for improving our lives and securing our houses. However, price and an unstable domotics market have restricted such systems' deployment. Nowadays, companies offer too technology-dependent solutions that don't cover user demands completely. Meanwhile, research works focus on small innovations on specific parts of...
The idea of using existing electronics in smart home appliances and connecting them to the Internet is a new dimension along which technologies continue to grow. In Japan, electronics giants are selling various kinds of smart home appliances and have also joined hands to create standards for linking networked home appliances. While there is a huge potential market for such appliances, there are serious...
Fieldbus networks have significantly improved flexibility and management in classic building automation domains. However, the costs of such installations are still greatly affected by the commissioning efforts needed to bring them up and running. The dedicated cabling, initial engineering efforts and sophisticated binding and configuration tools often prevent home owners from investing in such networks...
The paper proposes a converged architecture of home network and IMS based on home IMS gateway, gaping their heterogeneity and implementing convergence on data plane, control plane and management plane. Aiming at issues of interoperation, QoS and mobility, the architecture provides solution schemes, respectively. Through its implementation of modularized hardware and layered software, availability...
