Users will be able to access ubiquitously present
appliances anywhere and anytime through pervasive digital
home environment. For this, we need middleware that provides
a high-level abstraction and self-configuration, and guarantees
the interoperability among middleware. Further, it makes each
appliance’s behavior context-aware, and supports a variety of
adaptive behaviors. However, contemporary middlewares —
HAVi, Jini, and UPnP — typically assume a static and welladministrated
computing environment, and does not ensure
interoperability with different middleware. This paper identifies
self-configurable service middleware for the future pervasive
digital home environment. It provides a desirable environment
that supports adaptability and dynamic composability through
appropriate high-level abstraction.
