Zuma: a Platform for Smart-home Environments* Contributions and Outline
نویسنده
چکیده
Although electronic devices permeate the home and offer unsurpassed power and features, many impediments still exist to realizing the concept of the smart-home: configuration complexity, minimal device interoperability, difficulty of use, lack of personalization, and no integration with sensors for awareness and adaptation. We define four tenets of smart-home environment: Zero-configuration, Universality, Multi-user optimality, and Adaptability (ZUMA), and describe a platform based on a set of clean abstractions for users, content, and devices. The platform enables configuration and organization of content and networked heterogeneous devices in a smart-home environment. We validate the platform with a prototype implementation and analyze its flexibility and infrastructure requirements.

متن کاملZUMA: A Platform for Smart-Home Environments The Case for Infrastructure*
A wide range of disconnected communication networks is emerging in the home. Each has different functions and implementation architectures. The user experience as well as the overall functionality would be vastly enhanced if these networks could collaborate in a seamless fashion. Collaboration is challenging because it requires disparate devices and components to interoperate in a user friendly...
متن کاملState of the Art: Embedded Middleware Platform for A Smart Home
Paradigms and techniques that have bloomed in the area of the pervasive computing are general and pertinent. Environments with loosely coupled computational hosts, running heterogeneous hardware and software, associating one another in a just-in-time manner are characteristic of pervasive computing. Pervasive computational environments, such as our future homes are a prominent example of this t...
متن کاملArchitecting Smart Home Environments for Healthcare: A Database-Centric Approach
Considering existing system architectures for smart environments, the database management system (DBMS) is the most common but the least exploited architectural component, devoted exclusively for data storage and retrieval. However, database technology has advanced and matured considerably over the years, and, as a result, current DBMSs can be and do more. The scope of this thesis is therefore ...
متن کاملUsing Magentix2 in Smart-Home Environments
Smart-homes will play an important role in the near future improving living conditions for people. In this paper, we present the application of a multiagent platform Magentix2 for the development of MAS in smart-homes. The use of Magentix2 platform facilitates the management of the multiple occupancy in smart living spaces. Virtual organizations provide the possibility of defining a set of norm...
