| Summary: | Smart home consists of smart appliances that provide services to home users. Home
users should be able to purchase additional new smart appliance anytime and use it
instantly at home without any configuration involved. In this thesis, we explore a
typical scenario for smart homes that utilizes an OSGi-powered residential gateway
that provides interoperation between heterogeneous smart appliances.
Drivers play a significant role in OSGi gateway to provide an integral aspect of
services to users, as interoperation can only be possible if the gateway recognizes all
heterogeneous smart appliances. An enhancement to OSGi Device Manager named
A-ODM (Advance-OSGi Device Manager) is proposed to provide a zeroconfiguration
environment to smart homes. A-ODM is an automatic driver
deployment mechanism for OSGi gateway to resolve driver dependency externally.A smart home simulation with driver provisioning architecture have been designed
and implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of a network delivery of driver
provisioning through web service architecture. A-ODM is tested on several OSGi
implementations to compare its performance. We observed that A-ODM performed
better in OSGi implementations with smaller footprint. |
