Home Network Service Programs described in a Rule-based Language

Rule-based languages allow programs to be easily described at a high and abstract level, however, they suffer from long execution times. A state transition model, one of a standard model for developing telecommunication services programs, can be used to simply described home network services. To reduce the complexity of development, this paper proposes a method for describing service programs using a rule-based language. In this paper the easy-of-use of this method for novice users is tested using a home network to control a robot toy.
