Design and implementation of an adaptive middleware based on the universal middleware bridge for heterogeneous home networks

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

<P>As home networks become more complex and dynamic, it is crucial to support seamless interoperability through automatic reconfiguration and robustness through the efficient handling of faults. This paper presents an adaptive middleware that provides an adaptive autonomic configuration for the heterogeneous home networks and an autonomous fault management that includes fault diagnosis and recovery from unexpected faults such as device plug-outs, network link failures, service failures, and other such incidents. The proposed adaptive middleware is based on the universal middleware bridge (UMB) to guarantee interoperability and robustness in the middleware layer appropriate to heterogeneous home networks.</P>
