Area of effect and compromising techniques to improve availability of services in a home network environment

摘要

ホームネットワーク上で複数のサービスが動作する際，サービス同士で資源競合が発生する.資源とは宅内の機私家電，環境を表し，これらの競合が解決するまでホームネットワークサービスは停止する必要があ.本研究では，サービスを停止せずにホームネットワークサービスの資源競合を解決できるシステムを提案する.システムは，サービスが対象とする資源ごとに，サービスの空間的影響範囲（Area of Effect）と妥協手法を用い，サービス同士の資源競合を解決する．鍵案システムの構成，Area of Effectと妥協手法を用いたサービスの競合解決を説明し，照明サービスの実験を例にシステムの評価を行った.%Services in the home network environment may conflict over the use of resources, such as electric and electronic equipment and control of the physical environment inside the house . Such conflicts may lead to the suspension of the execution of a service until the conflict is resolved. In this research we propose a system that is able to resolve conflicts of services in specific cases (such as conflicts regarding properties of the physical space), with the use of compromising techniques and the notion of "Area of Effect". We proceed to explain the various aspects of the proposed system (such as "enchantments" and compromising techniques) and present a scenario for the illumination of a room demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed system.
