Home networking with Universal Plug and Play

The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) technology offers pervasive communication across heterogeneous devices in a home or small office network. The UPnP specifications are available for devices only to be interoperable together in a home or small office network. This paper proposes an extension of the UPnP technology for application interoperability in a home or small office network. This paper provides an UPnP Application Architecture as an extension to the existing UPnP Device Architecture. This extension enhances the feature of UPnP from device interoperability to application interoperability which enables the applications to discover, control and share data with each other in a home or small office network despite of their device type and operating system. In addition to the UPnP Application Architecture, the UPnP Application Template and UPnP Application Service Template are defined towards the development of UPnP-enabled applications that run on heterogeneous devices in a home or small office network.

Cloud Network

The Development of the computer has been from a single machine to the server, and then server clustering technology, and the emerging "cloud" network, which invariably show the network's role in the computer. Meanwhile, more and more high-end hardware trash or the users may be unbearable of high cost of servers, so the use of existing resources and integration of resources has become increasingly important. This paper will detail a virtual network file system, which based on Upnp (Universal Plug and Play) and FUSE (File system in Usese Space) in Linux operating system. In this study, users can share a computer terminal to collect and use that particular computer terminal on the network to all the resources users are interested in, provided that the shared computer terminals must be installed on a specific Upnp device. In this study, we have successfully implemented single-device-side and single-device-side multithread communication under the Linux or windows operating system.

Lifecycle Management

Product lifecycle management (PLM) processes can be greatly improved and extended if more information on the product and its use is available during the various lifecycle phases. The PROMISE project aims to close the information loop by employing product embedded information devices (PEIDs) in products. In this chapter, we present the goals and application scenarios of the project with special focus on the middleware that enables the communication between PEIDs and enterprise applications. Furthermore, we give details of the design and implementation of the middleware as well as the role of Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) as device-level protocol.

Home Theater

The term “home networking” implies that electronic network devices work together and communicate amongst themselves. These devices are classified in three categories: appliances, electronics and computers. Home networks include home theater, home office, small office home office (SOHO), intelligent appliances, smart objects, telecommunications products and services, home controls for security, heating/cooling, lighting and so forth. The suite of applications on each device, including the number of connected devices, is specific to each home. The home network configurations are challenges, besides the unpredictable problems that could be higher compared to a traditional business environment. These are important issues that have to be considered by developers supporting home networking infrastructure. In addition, home networks have to operate in an automatically configured plug-and-play mode. Home networks support a diverse suite of applications and services discussed next.
