Abstract

The proposed system architecture presents a mobile-agent based three-tier distributed control architectural framework in order to provide QoS-driven, scalable system configuration, flexible integration of heterogeneous control systems and robust hierarchical distributed control system for home automation and intelligent control. In this architecture, CORBA and mobile agent technologies work together as a flexible middle layer to provide the distribution of service control and location-aware adaptability and achieve large accessibility and interoperability for distributed control. To satisfy real-time requirements of home automation, the priority queue scheduling, real time event dispatching mechanisms and HAN architecture are also presented
