Services in the home environment compete for computational and physical resources. In the event of a resource conflict, the service deployment platform usually resolves it by suspending a number of services to allow the remaining services execute successfully. For the case of physical resource conflicts, we argue that a compromising solution which allows parallel execution of conflicting services successfully may exist. We propose a system that uses novel compromising algorithms and the notion of “Area of Effect” to detect and resolve such conflicts, without the need to suspend any running services. Based on the experimental results we conclude that the proposed system and algorithms are a promising solution for the problem of physical resource management.
