Ubiquitous computing is now mature enough to unleash the potential of Smart Homes. The obstacle is no more about hardware concerns but lies in how inhabitants can build, configure and control their Smart Home. In this paper, we defend the idea that End-User-Development (EUD), which considers inhabitants as makers rather than mere consumers, is an effective approach for tackling this obstacle. H...

New technological advancements allow the Internet to penetrate in embedded computing. IPv6 envisions to merge the physical and the digital world, through the Internet. The Web of Things interconnects the expanding ecosystem of Internetenabled embedded devices, by reusing well-accepted and understood Web principles. In this work, the principles of the Web of Things are employed for the developme...

In recent years, the ZigBee network has been rapid develop in smart home. In order to solve the interconnection problem between the ZigBee network and the internet in the smart home, a wireless home gateway based on embedded is designed and implemented in this paper. The gateway is made up of the main controller S3C2440, the ZigBee module JN5148 and the Wi-Fi module VT6656. It is capable of con...

The deployment of home-based smart health services requires effective and reliable systems for personal and environmental data management. Cooperation between Home Area Networks (HAN) and Body Area Networks (BAN) can provide smart systems with ad hoc reasoning information to support health care. This paper details the implementation of an architecture that integrates BAN, HAN and intelligent ag...

This paper proposed a remote health monitoring system for the elderly based on smart home gateway. The proposed system consists of three parts: the smart clothing, the smart home gateway, and the health care server. The smart clothing collects the elderly's electrocardiogram (ECG) and motion signals. The home gateway is used for data transmission. The health care server provides services of dat...

Secure communication between devices is a key aspect of smart grid security. In the future smart home environment, various smart devices, appliances and energy management systems will communicate with each other via the home network. In order to achieve mutual authentication, each device will have a private cryptographic key which must be protected against theft or misuse. Current mechanisms fo...
