In recent years, the smart home field has gained wide attention for its broad application prospects. However, families using smart home systems must usually adopt various heterogeneous smart devices, including sensors and devices, which makes it more difficult to manage and control their home system. How to design a unified control platform to deal with the collaborative control problem of hete...

I nternetworking services have come a long way since their inception in basic communication between two homogeneous computers located not far from each other. Today, intelligent devices can interact with each other anytime and anywhere in the world. Recent advances in technology—especially in wireless communication—have fueled the market for such devices. At the same time, decreasing processor ...

Modern households are deploying Internet of Things (IoT) devices at a fast pace. The heterogeneity of these devices, which range from low-end sensors to smart TVs, make securing home IoT particularly challenging. To make matters worse, many consumer-IoT devices are hard or impossible to secure because device manufacturers fail to adopt security best practices (e.g., regular so ware patches). Vu...

Nowadays, various kinds of smart home appliances are widely deployed in our daily life. These embedded, networked, and programmable appliances could be accessed through various methods, but may not be integrated together due to the different kinds of home network protocols on which these appliances are deployed. On the other hand, with the penetration of mobile devices, people could leverage th...
