abstract: nowadays due to developing the information technology, buildings are equipped to this technology in order to reduce energy consumption and make more convenient for inhabitants. the popularity of smart home has been increasing greatly in recent years due to much higher affordability and simplicity through android smartphone connectivity. this paper prepares a review of smart home and h...

In this paper I briefly discuss the importance of home automation system. Going in to the details I briefly present a real time designed and implemented software and hardware oriented house automation research project, capable of automating house’s electricity and providing a security system to detect the presence of unexpected behavior.

Agricultural automation is expected to continue in the new millennium. Reasons are given why a number of prototype automation systems developed in the 20th century have not yet proceeded to commercialisation. Some barriers that have deterred this are identified, and it is suggested that research to overcome these barriers will be a focus of future activity. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ...

We explore and discuss different ways of expressing service specifications in the context of home automation systems implemented on OSGiTM. We found that the approach used for expressing services affects the amount of service interaction in the system. Some approaches, as opposed to others, artificially increase the number of situations where services are considered to badly interact. We discus...

This paper describes a robotic and automation system presently under development for studying home automation and indoor robotic technologies as well as new service scenarios based on these technologies. The system consists of remote users, a home automation server, home automation equipment and home robots. Alarms and data are sent outside the home to helpers and caretakers. A remote user conn...

Home automation, as a model of pervasive computing, is progressively becoming substantial for people homed in developed societies. With the proliferation in the usage of household electronic and electrical appliances,numerous data and multifarious controlslevycumbersome burden on residentialhome automation control units, making it expensive and difficult for the users to autonomously install, c...
