2 Presentation Outline Introduction Background: European Research Projects Our Approach Conclusions

3 What is Home Networking Networks installed in the domestic environment for the purposes of shared wide area access and local area command, control and content distribution Distribution of audio, video and data between information appliances Provide communication, information, multimedia & automation services anywhere and anytime around the home Bring the Internet to the hands of consumer Interconnect people in data, voice and video The interconnection and interoperability of Home appliances It s All About Entertainment devices Convergence..!! PC hardware Telecommunication devices Security, lighting and environmental control systems

4 Applications Driving Home Networking

5 Home Networking Technologies Market Acceptance

6 A Present Home Environment

7 Difficulties with the Current System Devices are not truly Plug&Play (finding resources, automatic configuration) Require advanced networking skills to configure them There is no mechanism of automatic software upgrades There is no defined interworking mechanism to offer on-demand composition of services Is it intrinsically secure?

8 The Goal To have environments that are flexible enough to be able to adapt and interwork using different standards and protocols. To insure user acceptance by providing flexible systems that will become integrated within common household infrastructure.

9 Research Projects within the European Union

10 eperspace - Towards the era of personal services at home and everywhere Development of an open, trusted and Interoperable integration framework. Integration of different technologies into services and applications. User acceptance of networked audiovisual systems and applications at home and virtually anywhere. Innovative personalised value-added networked services.

11 MediaNet - Multimedia Networking

12 VisNet - Networked Audiovisual Media Technologies Creation/coding of AV content for immersive home platforms. Storage and transport of AV information over heterogeneous networks. Audiovisual analysis techniques for immersive communications. Security of AV content and transmissions.

13 RUNES - Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems Enable the creation of large-scale, heterogeneous networked embedded systems that interoperate and adapt to their environments. RUNES aims to provide an adaptive middleware platform and application development tools. Dramatically cut the cost of application development and deployment.

14 Semantic HiFi - Browsing, listening, interacting, performing, sharing on future HIFI systems Goal is to generate a new generation of HiFi systems, offering new functionality for browsing, interacting, rendering, personalising and editing musical material Every HiFi system will have an IP address and systematic use of metadata extraction and explotation techniques will allow semantic browsing in large content catalogues. Converging with the TV, DVD, Game Station and 5.1 set-ups, HiFi systems will also bring 3D audio real-time navigation in the sound scene

15 Future Home Define business models and end user requirements on home networks. Define a solid wireless intelligent home networking architecture based on IPv6 and other proposed wireless communication and network solutions Define a open and scalable home network base station concept that allow intelligent automated control and management Define generic device interfaces that enable home appliances, devices and terminals to be automatically connected.

16 HomeOnAir - WAP Access for a Home Automation Server Home Automation / Home Networking Home On Air WAP Provision of advanced house control services by means of a wireless remote access based on WAP technology Simplify the methods and means for residential users to get access to their houses

17 HomeTalk - A Voice Enabled Residential Automation & Networking platform Creates an intelligent user-friendly residential environment, connected to a broadband network, equipped with advanced domestic appliances, controlled via powerline by a multifunctional residential gateway/controller and capable of communicating with residents via natural voice interface.

18 WCAM - Wireless Cameras and Audio- visual seamless Networking The WCAM project aims to develop a wireless, seamless and secured end-toend networked audio-visual system This will focus on the convergence between video surveillance and multimedia distribution

19 BETSY - BEing BEing on Time Saves energy Continuous multimedia experiences on networked handheld devices BETSY will provide multimedia streams on wireless hand-held devices seamlessly adapted to fluctuating network conditions and available resources while reducing the energy consumption of the stream processing

20 Our Approach

21 Networked Appliance Definition Networked Appliance = Hardware + s From a hardware perspective: A Networked Appliance (NA) is defined as a dedicated function consumer device with an embedded processor and a network connection From a software perspective: A Networked Appliance (NA) is defined as a device that publishes the functions it provides as independent services that can be discovered and used by other networked appliances to extend the functionality it supports beyond what it was initially designed to do

22 Our Research - Requirements RF Amplifier CRT Audio Speakers Broadcast Mobile Internetworking, Interoperability And Function Independence Camera Microphone GPS Internet MPEG-1 Decoder MPEG-2 Decoder DVD Reader

23 Scenario 1 (Functional Utilisation) Display Recipe Watch TV Program Tele-Text RF-Receiver DVD Movie Audio Video Audio

24 Scenario 2 (Dynamic Composition) Audio Video Audio

25 Scenario 3 (Virtual Appliance) - Intercom Intercom

29 s: Distributed s The network contains distributed peers offering structured and unstructured services It contains two types of peers - specialised peers and simple peers Knowledge base and Inference Engine (Specialised Peer only) Specialised peers expose their own services, which are semantically described in the peer s local knowledge base Messages are propagated throughout the peer network using XML, which contain semantic queries S-1 S-N S. Container Specialised-Peer-B S-1 S-N S. Container Specialised-Peer-A Interface XML P2P Interface API Calls Knowledge Base And Inference Engine Knowledge Base And Inference Engine API Calls P2P Interface XML XML G W Simple-Peer-C Interface S-1 S-N Interface P2P Interface Interface Internet Fergus, P., Mingkhwan, A., Merabti, M., Hanneghan, M. B., DiSUS: Mobile Ad Hoc Network Unstructured s, (PWC 03) Personal Wireless Communications, Venice, Italy, September, 2003, pp

30 Describing s Semantically The capabilities of the service are described semantically using ontological structures. Ontological concepts will be used to describe the contexts in which the service can be used (e.g. a DVD player can be used in the context of a home entertainment theatre system). Semantic Contexts will describe all the services required to produce a Value Added Function. Ontological Structures are evolved using General Consensus. s Ontology Semantic s Fergus, P., Mingkhwan, A., Merabti, M., Hanneghan, M. B., Distributed Emergent Semantics, (IKS 03) Information and Knowledge Sharing, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, 17 th 19 th November, 2003, pp

31 Semantic Interoperability and Signature Matching (SISM) Digital Camera Television Matches Signatures based on Inputs and Outputs Resolves IO conflicts using intermediary services This algorithm uses Ontological structures to resolve terminology differences between terms (e.g. terms that are syntactically different but semantically equivalent) DistrES Ontology SISM SeCEn Manag.

32 Semantic Interoperability and Signature Matching (SISM) S-Video Visual Dynamically extends service interfaces Over time the device changes it service interface to support different data formats This is achieved by matching IOPEs in the service request with IOPEs in the service description and using Intermediary s SVCD DivX Xvid Xvid SVCD/ DivX/ Xvid DivX/ Xvid Xvid S-Video EI EI EI EI S-Video SVCD DivX EI S-Video SVCD S-Video DivX SVCD Xvid Divx Xvid S-Video SVCD C.

33 Conclusions In our research we have discovered: how the functions provided by complex devices can be published as independent services how to describe, discover and invoke semantic services that reside within P2P networks, without knowing their interfaces beforehand how to address semantic ambiguities between different terminologies how services can be dynamically composed using signature matching techniques methods to provide security across this dynamic composition of services

34 Future Work The framework and the application specific services for each networked appliance used in the case studies are currently at alpha stage The case studies and scenarios need to be completed Theatre Entertainment System Virtual Intercom System Dynamically diverting a video call to other devices around the home Security self adaptation through capability matching Incorporation of security services into middleware prototype
