Zuma: a Platform for Smart-home Environments* Contributions and Outline

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.

Architecting 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 ...
