Abstract :
This paper describes a composeable service platform that supports opportunistic collaboration among smart appliances deployed sporadically and incrementally in living and working spaces. This ubiquitous e-Helper´s platform is UPnP based and is consisted of a three-level device/service abstraction and a protocol translation proxy. As the first experiment, the platform is used to perform indoor luminance feedback control using wireless sensors and light dimmers. It outperforms similar systems in its responsiveness to dynamic device behaviors, and the modularity in its hardware/software implementation.
