Abstract Home Automation Networks provide a promising opportunity in designing smart
home systems and applications. In this context, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks are …

This paper moves a first step towards the creation of Intelligent Domotic Environments (IDE)
in real-life home-living. A new Domotic OSGi Gateway (DOG) is presented, able to manage …

The distributed resources–distributed generations, storage, electric vehicles and smart
appliances–have fueled many disruptions in the conventional grid dynamics. Increasing …

Efficient, deeply pipelined implementations exist for a wide variety of important computation-
intensive applications, and many special-purpose hardware machines have been built that …

Despite the large number of electronic devices that coexist in homes, only a few of them can
be easily integrated in the same network. Given that smart home applications are based on …

Recent advancements in smart home systems have increased the utilization of consumer
devices and appliances in home environment. However, many of these devices and …

Current technologies for Home and Building Automation (HBA) basically require an explicit
interaction with the user and allow a static set of operational scenarios defined during …

The smart home environment is highly characterized by heterogeneity with many systems
that need to interoperate and perform their tasks efficiently. With rapid growth of services …

This paper describes the development of an embedded smart home management scheme
over the Ethernet network. The platform of the smart home management system is built using …

We address demand-side management of dispatchable loads in a residential microgrid by
means of decentralized controllers deployed in each household. Controllers simultaneously …
