“…Technologies based on service orientation are not new for pervasive systems. UPnP and Jini [19] have been proposed as protocols and architectures for dynamic device and functionality discovery, based on describing services in terms of WSDL and Java interfaces respectively. These are excellent starting points for our study, as they provide support for basic interoperation, but to realize genuinely smart homes, more aspects need to be designed in terms of home sensing and composition.…”

Paradigms and techniques that have bloomed in the area of the pervasive computing are general and pertinent. Environments with loosely coupled computational hosts, running heterogeneous hardware and software, associating one another in a just-in-time manner are characteristic of pervasive computing. Pervasive computational environments, such as our future homes are a prominent example of this tendency. In this paper, we present a review of the state of the art of pervasive middleware platforms for enabling a smart home. There are numerous projects carried out by industry and academic research groups to examine embedded middleware platforms for smart homes. There are projects that consider problems ranging from software to hardware issues of smart home technology and associated issues of privacy, security, and social concerns. These projects emphasize numerous functional and non-functional requirements of a smart house. We discuss stimulating and valuable projects in the literature that addressed some of the concerns that are at the basis of the middleware platform proposal. We consider two aspects during the overview of the state of the art. First, we review a number of existing and recently funded research projects that focus on pervasive embedded middleware platforms. Second, we look at pervasive methodologies and technologies that are relevant to the middleware platform.

“…This proposal was focused on the use of limited resources, such as low data rate transmission and low energy consumption. Another possibility may be illustrated by a scenario where UPnP and Jini specifications communicate with OSGi by offering a large scope to manage electronic devices (Dobrev et al, 2002). In this context, two components were created, a Jini Driver and an UPnP Base Driver.…”

“…However, they do not resolve the problem of service search and invocation. In (Dobrev et al, 2002) these two problems are directly tackled but not from a semantic perspective. On another hand, the authors of (Gu et al, 2004) propose to define a semantic environment for describing contextual information to be used by context-aware applications.…”

Ideally, smart homes should make its inhabitants' lives more comfortable by anticipating their needs and satisfying their preferences. With this aim, we introduce an approach for contextaware personalized smart homes based on three pillars: the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) platform, the Semantic Web philosophy and the collaborative tagging trends. By combining these fields, we enrich the OSGi service-oriented architecture by providing a semantical conceptualization of services at home. On the top of this semantic formalization of services, we support context-awareness personalization by using a dynamic and non previously agreed structure for modeling context: a folksonomy. This socio-semantic approach to the problem takes into account the heterogeneous nature of the devices which provide contextual information so that defining a previously agreed constrained vocabulary for context is unrealistic.
