| Abstract;Information appliances (i.e. home appliances connected to home networks) have become to have more reality, in consequence of growth of technologies in fields of internet and IT devices. Networks of home appliances have different nature compared to those of computers. In a network of home appliances, a model with administrative control doesn't fit in well, and operations of connection and departure frequently occur. These could be problems for networked home appliances. We propose a framework in which software agents are deployed in each information appliances. We used FIPA agents' interaction protocols for cooperation among devices. We also used ontologies that described devices and functions to support them. Adding proper ontology descriptions makes cooperation between old and newly added appliances possible. This reduces users' cost when adding or removing devices within networks. Lastly, we have done an evaluation experiment based on our architecture and confirmed its feasibility. (author abst.) |
