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