Tóm tắt

This paper proposes a middleware for home networks, called Virtual Networked Appliance (VNA) architecture, in which the service description method and the Service to Service (S2S) communication mechanism are separated in an orthogonal way. Through the separation, VNA architecture solved the following two problems of existing middleware technologies: aspect violation and middleware fragmentation. In this paper, we first clarify the two problems and their relationship. Then, we describe the proposed middleware architecture as a solution from the viewpoint of the overall configuration and the S2S communication mechanism.
