The future home will be pervaded by mobile and stationary devices which need to dynamically connect and coordinate in order to seamlessly help people in accomplishing their tasks. However, for this vision to become a reality, it is important for researcher and developer to build applications that constantly adapt and integrate heterogeneous devices supported by different communication technologies...
Smart Home System (SHS) is an important application in pervasive computing. It makes household electrical appliances and other information equipments connect with each other, and it also provides a service with high abundant, personalized, convenient, safe and efficient through the network. This paper puts forward an integrated solution of Smart Home System in Pervasive Computing Environments, which...
Recently, context aware service has become one of the most promising topics for ubiquitous computing. In this study, we focus on developing a context aware framework based on the OSGi model to automatically provide appropriate information and services for users in a smart home environment. A middleware for integrating home services through a reasoning system is developed. By using JESS Markup Language...
As ubiquitous computing technology evolves, open API that is a solution to interconnect heterogeneous devices and services in a more fluid manner has emerged. Among open API solutions, OSGi is a Java-based service platform that is widely used in the service gateway of home network. In home network environments, the user authentication and authorization associated user's information and usability may...
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...
Among the most promising applications provided by digital TV systems are the ones that enable TV-sets to work as the central processing unit of a house. This is supported by the extending of iDTV functionalities, taking into account its computer platform not only for application execution, but also for management of electronic devices services in smart homes, like a home gateway. In this context,...
The Java enhanced service architecture (JESA) is a new middleware for building adaptive service networks. It minimizes manual administration in dynamic network contexts. JESA is optimized for resource limited devices like PDAs and sensors, hence it covers a broader range of device classes than other technologies like Jini and UPnP do. Its self-contained design enables spontaneous networking of limited...
