Abstract

Smart Homes uses different devices including sensors and actuators to provide services that assist in performing the activities of daily living. Currently these smart homes are developed in a manual and adhoc way. Manually configured smart homes create scalability, extensibility and cost problem. The need for a uniform platform for intercommunication among devices and a middleware abstraction using service-oriented technology is presented in this paper. A layered architecture for smart home developers to use is presented. Different demos that take advantage of the service-oriented middleware layer are shown.
