Abstract :
Home automation is becoming a field not so futuristic: in fact, the amount of this kind of systems in the marketplace is quickly growing up. Installation of these systems allows improving comfort and security of a house through the integration of the concepts traditionally associated with domestic environment with new generation technologies. The purpose of this paper is to describe ELIK (Easy Living In Kitchen), which is a distributed general-purpose embedded system for domotic applications, developed mainly to bring new features in the kitchen environment.
